sup guys, i'm planning on running a aftermarket gauge from sunpro. i'm trying to figure out where to get a T-fitting so that i can still use my stock gauge and aftermarket gauge. i heard that the inlet to the block threads are 1/8 BPT. so i think i would need a male 1/8 BPT,1/8 NPT female for aftermarket gauge, and 1/8 BPT to run my stock gague? any info would be appreciated..

Can anyone confirm this oil sender port thread size on the 5MGE? I need to attach a pressurized oil fill pre-lube tank to my sender port, but the male fitting adapter I have is a 1/8" x 1/8" NPT fitting and it is just barely a little to big to thread into the sender port on the block.

Is the 1/8" British Standard Pipe-Tapered (BSPT), which is what I understand the 5MGE port size to be a bit *larger* in diameter than the 1/8" NPT size?

Thanks for any feedback or info!

too bad it is not a tee with a AN-4 on the side, need another adaptor.

I think that would come pretty close to doing it. Thanks to you and Aaron for the info and feedback. I knew folks here could verify!
