Repair gone wrong

[MaxinOut]

So today I went to relpace my oil pressure safety switch and this is what the end result was
5033

I didn't even make it really tight or anything it just kinda happened. What would I have to do to fix this because currently it is undrivable obviously. Oil would spout all over the place so I am not even going to crank on it until I can fix it.

Its looking like my fuckup wasn't too bad. I believe it is just three bolts to pull the housing off then get a new gasket and put a new(junkyarded) one back up there. I am hitting the junkyards first thing in the morning

Would the housing off of a 2.0 out of another bishi work, like the square body gallant, first gen eclipse etc.?

I've seen that happen before. Just weak casting. Be lucky yours wasn't in a vehicle that the oil unit went into the upper oil pan. That was a b**ch job. Unfortunately I think this unit is specific to the trucks. The galants use a 2.4L and it's slightly different than the 2.0L. I think the cars the filter screws into the block.

Thats the other part
Would anyone know where I can get the I guess I would call it the oil filter housing?? I went junkyard hunting all day today with no avail. I could see if a dealer could order one for me but I want to exhaust all other options before I do that

Sorry about the picture quality all I have to take pictures with is my cellphone and the camera on that is A WHOLE MEGAPIXEL woot -.-

Also if yours is broke the oil would just dump out of the hole...you wouldn't make it far lol

doesn't take much to brake them. there only aluminum.

you should be able to junk yard that part and get a gasket.

I went to every junkyard in my area yesterday with no luck at all. I only found one MM and the motor was gone

I thought I had a spare one laying around after da rebuild.. Camo asked me about it the other day and I checked, but I realized it old housing ended up being reused since machine shop didnt put a new one on there..

I ended up going to the dealer. Actually it was only $57 from them I was quite surprised. The part comes in Thursday and I am beyond ready to have mah truck back running

I thought of that too, or permabond aluminum filled epoxy - that stuff can be used to drill and tap castings, and is oil and gas resistant.
