Ok someone help me here, I am looking for a spot to put my oil pressure gauge line. I have asked over on NT.com but got the run around. Is there a good spot on the head that I can tap or should I go through the block, whats the case here? I have a mechanical gauge and I want to avoid drilling at all cost, especially in the block. If anyone can tell me or post a pic or two of where they have gone through that would be good.

yeah that kinda helps, unfortunately I cant use that spot on the right of the head becuase that will be my turbo oil feel line. I will attempt to look at the OEM sending unit. thanks Jim...I also tried that link but it came up with an error.

you can use it for the mechanical one too, all it is is a threaded port you can use for your nipple on which to attach the mech. gauge
