Does anyone know the accurate thread size for the oil pressure switch that screws into the block?
I want to run a pressure gauge on the run stand, but can't get the real thread specs on the threaded end of the switch. It seems to be a 10mm 1.0 thread. However a 10mm fitting won't start correctly and I don't want to screw up the threads in the engine block by forcing the issue. :Awe:
Careful measurements (with a digital micrometer) show the threaded part of the switch is 0.005 mm smaller than the 10mm 1.0 fitting, explaining the difficulty in starting the fitting.
Suggestions are solicited.
