A simple 90 degree elbow or a T-fitting lets you run an electric sender. The stock sending unit is mounted there.
I think I'd mount it in the head personally, if I could fit it as that will show pressure dropoff quicker I'd think.

Wouldn't it be the opposite with the 'crappy' 2.5L heads with the oil being 'trapped' in the heads and thus not enough oil in the crankcase? Wouldn't you see the drop in pressure down there first?

How's the wiring from the gauge attach to the sender? The sender is a cylinder that has a threaded in to go into the block/head and has another part on the other side. No wires coming out of it.

Ok, that's what I was thinking, but wasn't sure. Directions just said to connect it without any further detail.

There was mention of a "High end digital tach". What manufacturer would you recomend. I was only able to find cheap stuff or gauges that were a bit too large for our pods.
