How to remove pressure oiler from engine block?
Carefully remove the pressure oiler’s hose from the engine block (place a rag under the end of the hose to prevent dripping oil onto surfaces as the hose is removed). Reinstall the vehicle’s oil pressure sender to the engine block.
Where is the oil pressure reading on a LS derived engine?
The first way to get an oil pressure reading is to use the factory port on the back of the engine. This is an M16x1.5 thread. AutoMeter Adapter #2268 will thread right in place and give you a proper 1/8″ NPT port. Here’s a shot of the #2268 adapter being installed (prior to being fully tightened) with its included sealing ring.
Where do you put the oil pressure sender?
Locate an accessible oil port on the engine block (the port to be used for the oil pressure sender is an ideal location). Remove the oil pressure sender or threaded plug from that port. Locate the proper fitting to adapt the pressure oiling tank’s hose fitting to the port (for example, 1/4-inch NPT, 1/8-inch NPT, etc.).
What happens if an oil line is broken?
If an oil line is clogged or broken the engine flow will decrease significantly and therefore the oil pressure will drop. The oil passes through a lot of small oil lines which overtime can get clogged or broken.

Can a late model engine be pre oiled?
However, late model engines that feature a front-mounted oil pump that’s driven by the crankshaft cannot be pre-oiled in this manner. The use of a pressurized pre-oiling tank allows you to easily push pressurized oil throughout the engine’s oil circuit without the need to turn the engine’s oil pump (the LS engine is but one example).
How to check oil pressure in an engine?
Install an oil pressure gauge to the engine block. Remove the valve cover (s). Connect a power drill to the priming shaft and drive the pump until the gauge shows that oil pressure is established. Continue to turn the pump while monitoring the rocker arms.
