Hello. Looking for some thread sizes for the 2 common ports people use as their sensor locations for oil pressure and engine coolant temp. The port locations are:

1. Oil pressure- using the plugged port right next to the stock oil pressure sensor by oil filter
2. Coolant temp- using the port on the drivers side of the block near the motor mount.

Im looking for the thread size of both of these ports so i can buy the correct adapters for my AEM a gauges if need be. Are the ports 1/4in NPT? 1/8in NPT? Let me know. Thanks.

Iirc both are 1/4 npt.
The temp sensor is then adapted down to 1/8 npt and the oil pressure sensor can be 1/4 npt or 1/8 npt (usually 1/8 npt)

But you have probably figured it all out by now.

Your sensors will come with the needed npt adapters anyway.

Yup, got them figured out. Thank you anyway for the response.
