oil pressure switch location 22RE?oil squirting out hole behind motor mount
|
|
Just put in a rebuilt 22RE today in 85 4runner. I screwed the oil pressure switch into the same hole(location) to the left of the oil filter (about 6-8" from the filter) as you look at the right side of the block. We got everything on the motor,bolted it in, filled with oil,coolant,etc. and then started cranking the motor. Oil started squirting out of a threaded hole(about 1/4" diameter) right behind the right side(passenger) side motor mount. Is this a hole I need to find the right size plug to screw in and block or what? I know different years, models have different sensors and such, but does anyone know if that's what I need to do and what size plug do I need to get to thread into the hole? I know a bolt won't work since it's probably pipe thread but I need to know what size and thread plug to put in the hole. Really sucks since everything is done and it's ready to go. :mad:

IIRC, it's 8mm x 1.00. If you still have your old block laying around, cann on off of it. If not, a parts store should be able to cross/match a thread for you off of the part for an oil pressure switch to get you dialed in. 
I shot my right caliper full of oil a few years back, so don't feel bad!!
