Default Broke oil pressure sending unit
Ok I know everyones going to say i should have searched first and i did but during my LS6 intake mani install i still managed to break it Now the problem is I cant get the part till tuesday and im assuming that if i run it with nothing in there its gonna blow oil everywhere? Is this right or is there someway i can drive the car without it?

Yes, if you put a bolt in to block the hole and stop the oil blowing out.

You realize he's not the one who dug this thread up? Maby he didn't notice the date.

It was the guy in post #4 who bumped it looking for some help instead of starting another thread, which is a good thing.
