In getting everything ready to drill and tap the port, I finally was able to
get a good view at the port from above and saw that the port is actually
cracked. When I had my original failure at the track I tried to finish my track day by just putting the factory sensor back in and doing without the aftermarket gauge. The factory sensor leaked when I tested it, so I just
packed up the car. The impact of hitting a curb must have not only cracked the brass connector, but also cracked the port itself.
Now the fun begins to replace the upper oil pan. I can't believe Z1 sold me this setup. The Autometer sensor seems larger than some of the others I have seen guys use on this forum.
