Factory oil pressure switch
Hey guys I was wondering if anyone could take a picture or tell me if the factory oil pressure switch is supposed to be flush or not with the block of the engine. I am reinstalling it and its pretty tight and I don't want to overtighten it, but the body of the sensor is not flush with the block (see pics). It doesn't leak though in its current state but if its supposed to be flush, then I'm afraid water might get there, freeze in winter, and then crack the block.
Thanks ! Last edited by Cubix; 08-17-2019 at 10:05 PM. |

Also, that thing looks like it wouldn't take much to twist it off - How do you reckon water is going to freeze around there and do damage to the block? Like they say in the old country "iffen it don't leak - leave it alone" humfrz |

Even if water does get in the threads and it freezes and expands, as long as it has a place to expand to, nothing will be damaged. I'm gonna ring up ol @Tcoat for you - for a second opinion, he is pretty smart about stuff like this - humfrz |
