I was wondering if the series 3 XJ6 and Mk2 oil pressure senders were the same, the threads are and they look very similar, the Mk2 has a double spade connector, the XJ6 has a single,
I am also in need of one or two blanking bolts for the oil gallery as the series 3 engine seems to have three oil pressure switches ! if anyone in the UK has an old block with a couple of blanking bolts I could have let me know,
I would recommend fitting a mechanical oil pressure gauge , picture is of my XJ6 engine , on a engine stand , in it’s early stages of getting it ready to fire up , to make sure it was ok , before fitting in the MK2 , note the MK2 240 oil filter housing , the XJ6 cam feed oil pipe bolted straight in the top !
I will stick with the sender for now, don’t like oil pressure gauges at all, spend too much time looking at them, especially when flying a single engine Cessna across a dull and misty channel, the long way 90 miles to the Hurn coming back from Le Mans!
I will be using the blanked oil gallery hole just in front of the filter,
It would fit, but calibration is probably off as the resistance varies. The oil pressure gauge itself is adjustable. I calibrated my own to be very accurate.
They are. The XJ6 has an 80lb sender, the Mk2 and contemporary e types had a 60lb sender. Paul.
