I was doing an oil change since I am scheduled for an autocross for the weekend and I noticed that the "T" fitting installed on my oil pressure sender port was starting to leak.

As I loosened that up, the fitting connected to the port on the block took off a little bit of material and threads from the port with it. Now it wont thread back in for me to reinstall the "T" fitting since it wont thread in and I cant close that port for me to refill the car with oil.

What I am asking is, how can I fix this? What options do I have? If anyone can help that would be really appreciated because I really need the car back before Saturday since I am scheduled for two event days.

 

So you stripped the threaded hole in the oil filter housing? Why do you have a T there?

 

No not the oil filter house, the oil pressure sensor port right next to it.

I have a "T" there because that is what is supplied with the JGS kit for the turbo oil feed.

 

^ You can just buy a new one. I believe I have one, I would trade it for that z32 pigtail if you pick up.

I wouldnt try and rig something that supplies my motor and turbo with oil.


It will be a huge disaster when it fails.

 

I can buy a new what?

The sensor is fine, the threads where the sensor connect to are what is messed up.

 

Let me try and clean this up.

The piece the oil filter connects to had a plugged port on it which you tapped into for your oil supply for your turbo.

That was leaking and now the threads are stripped.

Is that correct?

The whole assembly that the oil filter connects to comes off of the block if I recall. You can just replace that and avoid all problems or re thread it but you would spend more buying the correct tools.

Is this a KA?

 

Alright the oil filter has nothing to do with what Im having trouble with. That is working perfectly fine.

Next to the oil filter is a port where the oil pressure sensor bolts onto. That port has the threads messed up and I cant bolt my sensor back on to bolt it shut. That is the problem I am having.

So I am asking how I can repair that.

 

I get that. There is an assembly that bolts to the block you can just replace that, or just re thread.

Go look at it and you will see what I am talking about.

 

Just went out and could not see a way that it could be unbolted and replaced. Do you have a picture or something that could better explain?
