Thanks for the feedback. My engine does have the 3/8" hole in the front of the head for the water temp sender. There is also a plug in the side of the block where you are saying the oil sender should go, but I cannot get it out. I put a 1/4" allen in there and it turned out the corners, it is in there that tight. One other question for you. There is a 5/16" hole, tapped with fine thread, on the right side of the block, just below and to the front of the fuel injector pump. There was a red plastic plug in it when I got it from the rebuilder. I removed the plug, and when I was cranking the engine to bleed the injectors, oil started coming out of this hole. Is it possible that they had an oil sending unit in here??? Just wondering if not for that, what it would be for, and if not used, why it did not have an aluminum pipe plug in it rather than the red plastic one. Thanks!
