Oil Pressure Sending Unit Torque

[Rubyred17]

Hello,

Does anyone know the proper torque for an oil pressure sending unit on our cars (mine is a 17)? I plan to be under the car doing some checking around and wanted to check the sending unit to make sure its tight.

Thanks!

There is a painted witness mark from when it was tightened on the assembly line. You can just check to see if it has turned at all. You don’t need to get under the car, you can see it with the driver’s side wheel off.

24lbs ft according to the service manual.

The Helm shows torque to 124 lb in ( = 10.33 lb ft.) then another 180 degrees.

If you are ever in Louisville I owe you a beer! This advice was spot on. Just slide the foil covered protector off the sensor and you can see these lines. Mine had not moved nor was leaking. THANK YOU!
