oil manifold for better camshaft lubrication

[Pen_tdi]

I am going to tap into my pressure sensor and using a restrictor make an oil manifold for my cam. The one question i have what thread is the sensor? does anyone sell a t fitting for the sensor port?

This is a good idea. Lycoming aircraft engines have a similar problem with cam wear. A noted rebuilder makes an oiling modification to improve cam lubrication.

yah i dont think it will hurt anything aslong as im not killing oil pressure. I am thinking about making it as simple as driling 8 small holes in a copper line that runs through the valve cover and cap it off somehow or just pinch the end. I could also make something fancy at work like a rail but mounting may be a problem.

Sensor thread is 10x1 mm ,same as glow plug size.Could be an issue finding metric fittings locally.
