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

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.?
pic is a little blurry. got a pic not so up close? I think mine is broken too..just looked through my old parts. not sure if mine is da same.
The same, not da same .. makes yo sound like da ghetto boy with a big grill of da $$$.Quote:

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

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 goneQuote:

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..Quote:

JB Weld,,,,
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.
