Hi,

I want to use an oil pressure gauge (electric) on my R1 5VY engine, anyone currently doing this and if so where do you fit the sensor on the engine ?

Cheers,
Kosmo.

Do a search!!!!

But if you can't be bothered, there are 2 options.
Drill and tap the oil cooler bolt or remove one of the main gallery allen bolts that runs across the bottom of the block. Replace it with a drilled hex head bolt.
It is the same point that yamaha use to take pressure readings.
