2G Oil pressure sensor housing cracked

[Dbl_spirit]

The area in which the oil pressure sensor goes is cracked. Is there a replacement part or is that the oil pump? I'm not an expert. TIA

You need to replace the oil filter housing.

You could have it TIG welded since it is aluminum but a replacement, as @chrisman287 said, is a sure fire way to solve it. Just don't over tighten the sensor, that is what cracks it to start with.

Trying to do the oil filter housing. Stuck on the timing cover bolt. Any ideas? Thanks

The one behind the cover? You’ll have to remove the bolts that you can see from the cover then pry back enough to get a wrench in there. Take note of which bolts go where as there are varying lengths. You can use a piece of cardboard to make a little diagram.

It’ll help a lot if you have a second set of hands to hold the cover back. That’s how a buddy and myself did his.
