Heres my question, Should i mount my sandwich plate onto the block? I only say this because i have my relocator hooked up to the block and i dont really want to remove it.
So block, relocator, sandwich?
Or block, sandwich, relocator?
Im guessing most of you will say option 2.
If so, how can i do so without losing too much oil or getting it too messy.

i think you should do it the second way, and the way you do it without getting too messy is draining out your oil before taking off your relocator.

I dunno how oil you would use, but draining it would be less messy. Just wait for your next oil change or change it early. The greddy kit and most places do it the second way.

I think option 2 would make the most sense
With something vital like monitoring oil pressure, no sense you half ass it just cause you didn't want to drain oil
It's gonna be as messy as changing an oil filter, which isn't very
I've never seen option 1 done before, but typically I'd want to have the pressure sensor as close to the block as possible

Why would he need to drain the oil??? You guys crack me up sometimes...:ugh:
Let the car seat for a while and let all the oil settle in the pan...
Yes, sandwich then relocator. Question tho is, what are you using for the relocator and sandwich plate? I know this will work for something like a Greddy relocator and sandwich plate. But if your using a relocation kit that replaces oil filter assembly thing like the circuit sport oil block.

Won't it be a mess? or oil probably won't flow out cause of 0 pressure?
