Would the pipe from pump into the block be OK?
My old v12 had the sender on the pipe that fed the camshafts. So it was after the crank had been fed.
Obviously I dont know what engine you are using or the configuration, so hard to say.My old v12 had the sender on the pipe that fed the camshafts. So it was after the crank had been fed.
So I'll just repeat the same, ideally as close to the main galleries as possible.

V8 Jaguar. Oil sender been removed as it's part of the natural sump I've removed.So I'll just repeat the same, ideally as close to the main galleries as possible.
Should oil pressure be the same anywhere in the engine.
My understanding, and I am happy to learn if I'm wrong, in a good engine with proper clearances, a good pump, then pressure is depending on the relief valve settings. All engines will need approx same pressure at same place in the engine, but the pressure drops, across the engine. And indicated pressure is dependent on the take off point. So A series engines used to have a higher oil pressure at the gauge than a croosflow, but that the actual pressure at the main or big end was actually near the same. Am I right?
