Tapping the oil passage

Tapping the Oil passage
Aeroquip Part# FMC385
Location of the oil passge
Tools: 1/8npt tap
The Tap
Carefully thread the passage, making sure the thread is deep enough
After the passsage is threaded, tighten down the 1/8 plug with a allen wrench. Make sure the plug is completely threaded down and blow the head surface. If not, you may need to have a machine shop resurface the head until you get a completely flat surface
Close look on what the tap should look like, notices that the plug is a little below the head surface
A far away look

Make sure the plug is completely threaded down and
blow the head surface. If it's not, you may need
to have a machine shop resurface the head until
you get a completely flat surface. Should not cost
no more then $90 for the head to be
resurface. Also you can choose to have the shop
weld the passage instead of tapping it yourself.

You have two options when purchasing the 1/8 flare adapter.
You can choose to purchase all 3 of them from any auto supplier
or purchase them from a local hardware store(ACE Hardware is
where I gotten them) for around .69 cents instead of a few dollars.
Cut the second SS lines about 4" to 6" inches long.
Make sure you use Teflon tape when connecting the 3 adapters
to the Tee and Oil sender on the block.
As for the Oil pressure sensor, connect it to the end of the female
Tee fittings as illustrated in the pix

There are many ways of doing this. You may seen other instructions on how
to Tee the oil sending unit directly from the block.
But, I don't recommend Tee'ing the oil sending unit directly off the block.
Doing this could break and snap the fittings under harsh engine shacks & jerks.



Next Time, we'll be swapping out the B18b1 slugs for some higher
Compression Ratio B'series VTEC pistons...
