Anyone know the correct thread size for the taps on the head??
I"m trying to hook up my oil pressure guage, and there are taps on the head for this, there pluged with allen screws. The fitting I had didn't work, I need to know the correct fitting so I can finish the install.
Thanks
Thanks

You don't want to go off the head for your oil pressure gauge, you need to go off the filter housing. The head has a pressure restrictor on it so your readings won't be accurate.

How off would the readings be?
