I'm concerned about your oil pressure sender, actually that small 45 deg fitting that you used in order to angle it away from the header...that fitting is going to break. The mass of the sender is too much for it, under vibration. (Think bowling ball stuck on the end of a broomstick).

You might need to use a brass "block" style 45, or try to find some way to support the pressure sender "can", or, find somewhere else on the engine to pick up oil pressure...

I only tuned into this because I had this happen to me once. It was not good.

Thanks, I will look into that. Maybe a small bracket to support the sender. I'm pretty sure there are some mounting points on the block for one. This should take pressure off the sender.

With today's technology I am also surprised at how big these damn senders are..
