Simple what size thread is it cause I'm pulling the oil from my head and not the oil filter housing
I'm runnin an evo III oil filter housing as well, I just need to know what the thread is so I can find a galley plug to fit in there.

Um... You need to be a bit clearer about what your looking for and I could more than help you. I've got an Evo III OFH sitting in my closet but I have NO IDEA W.T.F your asking so I have no way of helping man. Reword it or take a picture of it, something...

3/8" BSPT

I'm assuming you mean the plug that faces forward towards the radiator.
Brian-
You need to send me a link to that gibberish translator you use to help some of these guys. :rolleyes:

Make sure the fitting your get is 3/8bspt not 3/8bsp. I know the part is only a few bucks but can be tricky to find. What i did was cut the line for the stock metal oil feed and stole the fitting off of it. I filled the fitting with JB weld and it has been leak free for about a month now.
 
Ok to clear things up its not the one for the external oil cooler those are WAY too big, I'm talking about the one where the oil comes from the filter housing to the turbo so basically the turbo oil feed I'm drawing oil from the head, so I need to plug that hold, BUT seeing as how Blaze hasn't had a trouble using the JB weld, I'm probably going to do that!!
Thanks guys,
If you have any different answers let me know, I'm gonna go try to find that galley plug though
Thanks again

Is this the plug you're referring to (top highlighted plug)?

My bad on the "same size as oil cooler line bolts" info. I interpreted the part program incorrectly.

But the size is still valid at 3/8" BSPT for that plug.

I did the same thing. It's been fine for almost a year now. :cool:
 
OK well that hole for some reason after a 1/8 NPT tap wasn't cuttin' it, SO I tried to put the Oil pressure sending unit in its place.. Negetive... JB welded it closed drilled the whole and threaded the hell out of the spot for the oil pressure sending unit, At first I got halfway up the tap and tried putting it in, not working, After fighting my ass off to get it threaded all the way I finally got it!
Now I just gotta run the wires for the sending unit...
Then finish the lines for the oil cooler after I make a new braket, BUT hopefully if all goes well, she will start tonight.
Thanks a lot guys for your help
