ok, so i was swapping out my stock intake manifoldfor an ls6 and i wound up snapping my oil pressure sending unit.
1/2 of the plastic is still in the block or whatever that is that it goes into in the engine. just wondering if anyone else had f*cked up like this too, and how to get that **** outta there, does it just pop out? screw out? any help would be greatly greatly appreciated. thanks in advance.

I broke mine doing a Z06 intake swap...my 1st mod..it just unscrews...I forget what size it is ...but its no big deal...just get another one from ur chevy dealer...gotta b real careful..do not tilt the intake back when putting it on or taking it off..just lift it straight up and then you'll be fine..u can drive it with the sender broken...u just wont have a oil gage working...u have to have the intake off to put another one in.....good luck

haha broke it on my LT1 when doing a header swap. I started freaking out cuz I didnt know what it was at first, not that big of a deal, should come right out and like they said part is about 30 bux or so from the dealer.
