Can anyone tell me if an oil line can be hooked to the front of the engine engine case as a point for oil pressure line to sending unit? I purchased a used O-360 that had been on a Cessna 172. I installed the engine before I realized that the normal pressure port was on the accessory case BEHIND the upper right engine mount. My engines normal port plug has the plug in it and it appears it has not been used. There is however a 90' fitting attached to the right, upper front, of the engine case. I think this may have been used for oil pressure. Does anyone out there know for sure? I also wondered if this is not possible, what about the oil fitting that comes off of the accessory case that goes to the oil cooler? Can you use this point, with adapter/fitting to get oil pressure and will it be correct pressure? Any suggestions would be appreciated since my engine is already hung.
Thanks
Mike
