Thread pitch for oil temp sensor in turbo pan


Zmanco

Recommended Posts

I tried installing a 3/8 NPT temp sensor into the threaded hole next to the drain plug on the stock turbo oil pan but the threads obviously aren't a match. Before I start buying adapters, can anyone confirm what the thread pitch is? I'm guessing BSPT?

I found this on McMaster:

If I'm reading the drawing correctly, it looks like the BSPT is 19 threads per inch and the NPT is 18. That would explain why they look the same but don't fit.

 

Can anyone confirm that the thread on the stock turbo oil pan temp sensor hole is BSPT?
