Subject: [TR] TR6 engine block
When I bought the car (1972 TR6) in 2001, a friend suggested that I replace=
the oil pressure warning sensor in the block. It just failed at the joint =
between the metal and the plastic. Fortunately, being a pack rat, I still h=
ave the original sensor which I put back in. it looks to be of much higher =
quality, although I guess I shouldn't complain about 20 years of service.
I suspect the one I just put back in is the original sensor and survived th=
e first 30 years without trouble. I thought about carrying a spare - this f=
ailure would have been catastrophic as quite a bit of oil was leaking out, =
not to mention the mess it made of the exhaust and the undercarriage. Then =
I figured I could just carry a small bolt with a copper washer. Given the c=
ar has an oil pressure gage which I think would flag this disaster much soo=
ner, plus the copious amount of oil underneath would have alerted me, as it=
did this time.
Does anyone know how far into the block this hole goes? What is down there =
and how short a bolt do I have to use?
