broken oil press gauge.

[soryu]

I was screwing the sensor on there and the base broke.
i'm thinking JBweld it back???
anyone got better a idea?

[godsmack]

I would def not trust jbwelding that. Could possibly take it all to a welder or machine shop and have them do it right.

[soryu]

What about someof that grey gasketmaker?
(tried didn't work)

[godsmack]

Your not going to be able to patch this. It has to be fixed properly or get a new one. There's pressure there, and without welding the original part it's just going to blow apart.

I wouldn't trust JB weld to such pressures... imagine on a really cold day, your oil psi could be 100+

i spoke with a local mechanic here. says that part can't be welded back need new block.

700 bucks for a oil block? what the fuck is he smoking....seriously

you could find one for maybe 20 to 40 bucks.

shit you're right.Nissan 240sx KA24DE Oil Filter Block Pickup with Bolts | eBay (http://www.ebay.com/itm/NISSAN-240SX-KA24DE-OIL-FILTER-BLOCK-PICKUP-WITH-BOLTS-/390320491750)
am i missing something here?

this looks easy to swap out.
are all KADE oil filter blocks the same?
96 fit a 92?

[godsmack]

i'm not 100% sure on differences. But you could also take this opportunity to put an oil filter relocate kit that has the proper ports for your guage. Just an idea.

[soryu]

just picked one up from a 92 OE.
hopefully i'll be rolling by friday.

Did it make that infamous pop sound?
I believe the technical name for them are oil filter housings.
You're not out of luck though, they make adapters like the tomei SR units that have been knocked off by everyone. That's if you had plans to relocate or run a cooler.

I see that you already have one, but for future searchers i'd figure why not?
PS
Never Ever Go back to that local mechanic, he's/she's a thief or has no idea what he/she was talking about, all the better reason!
