I am in the middle of doing the timing chain guides and I thought this might be a good time to add an old school mechanical oil pressure gauge.

Pretty sure i got sloppy with checking oil and that's what led to the breakdown of the plastic guides.

The new gauge is $20 from amazon and I assume it has a standard SAE thread size that will need to be converted to metric.

ANybody know the metric size? Save me buying a whole kit.

Are there any better places to install it besides putting it under the exisits oil pressure switch?

Thanks
