There won't be oil flowing through the tee (to somewhere else) but there
will be plenty of oil flowing past the hole in the block where the tee is
located. Sure you might be a few degrees off but I'm not sure it is
significant.

Would the stock oil pressure unit work? Your comments contradicts itself in
a way that there may be problems??
I don't want problems. How about if I use a sandwich plate between the

Thanks, appreciate your input.
