Kohler Oil Pressure Gauge Kit


SmilinSam

Recommended Posts

Looking for a Oil Pressure gauge kit(now obsolete) to fit the KT and or Magnum series twin engines. If it were not for the fact that the port in the block was tapped to 1/16" NPTF, I could use any gauge kit, but all the standard kits use 1/8" pipe thread fittings. Anyone got a kit, or suggestions for a solution? Sam

You still got to thread the compression fitting for the tubing into the block.....Thas where I'm hung up. Seems like Kohler must have made a custom fitting for their hole rather than having a standard thread hole.

Sam McMaster Carr has about about anything you would want in fittings. I know they have fittings for 1/16-NPT, but don't know if any would help you.

Sam, Did you ever get this fitting ? Today I checked my 7117 and it is tapped 1/8" already. Don

Yep, that fuel rail adaptor worked perfect. This KT maintains about 50 lbs when hot. 65 lbs when cold. Sam
