Title: oil pressure switch
Post by: boilermaker1 on November 29, 2014, 06:06:47 PM

Hi, Looking for advise again. does the oil pressure switch tread all the ways down?
Is there a seal for between switch and the oil pump?
My switch  seem to take a lot of pressure to screw down, do not want to shear it
Any advise , ideas would be helpful.

Thanks

It should be a tapered thread so does not go all the way down, a VERY small amount of liquid pipe sealant on the threads is permissible but not always needed

Should not be a sealing washer on a 400.
