I have to replace my oil pressure sensor as the gauge is all over the place, then works fine for a while. Being as its at the back of the block do I have to take the manifold off to replace it (have read up on the ls1 forum)and was thinking of fitting one of these kits, has anyone else done so...........

From your profile you have a monaro, not a corvette?

Then I may have some good news as I have a 2006 VXR Monaro and I replaced the oil pressure sender with a socket set in about 10 mins as its located at the back of the engine but not covered by anything, just a bit of a pain to access between pipes and wires.

I also got a Brass version rather than Ally as they apparently last longer

Hope this helps

I have an electric one installed. Doesn't take too long to install either. If you check out post #166, second pic in this thread (http://www.ls1gto.com/forums/showthread.php?t=409830&page=4) the brass cylinder is the oil pressure sensor. Hope this helps
