    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Oil pressure switch leaking - fixable, too!

So the oil pressure sensor switch thingy, on top of the transmission and directly below the cam chain tensioner, was leaking oil.
No problem, I thought. I'll just pull it offa there and stick in a new o'ring round the base.

Hmmm. Still leaking. It appears to be coming out where the wire connects on top. So I pulled it off again, and fiddled around with it a bit. Gave that brass contact on top (the one where the wire connects to) a push, and the whole brass guts part popped out of the resin plasticky threaded part.

Interesting. But there were no o-rings inside, an the fit was loose at best. Pulled out my trusty Hondabond 4, some cotton tipped applicators, and some acetone.
Cleaned up all the brass guts and inside the resin threaded plasticky thing. Schmeared in some Hondabond, mashed the whole shebang back together, and let it cure for a couple of days.
Lo and behold, no more leaks!

Sorry there are no pictures, but I thought if anyone has questions about this they are indeed serviceable (although I don't think they were meant to be)!
 
Just go to NAPA #0P6115 sender is supposed to fit ???? I have not verified this..
