Ughhhh,...right now it feels like I should have stayed out of the garage entirely the last week and not touched the car. Following the blown oil hose and draining of the oil to check for sparkles and removal of all the rear to front oil hoses I was going to change the oil filter aswell.... Filter is on tight like a bugger (i have small hands so I cant grip is and loosen it without tools so I have one of those threearmed things that attach to a 3/8"' ratchet. Turning it as hard as I can and suddenly the filter twists...along with the sandwich adapter plate....which dents the #4 cylinder pushrod tube....

Removing an oil filter from a Lycoming engine can be a bitch too. The heat makes the rubber seal bond to the metal. A little trick is to apply 100% silicone grease to both side of the seal then hand tighten. 100 hours later you can remove it by hand. https://www.amazon.com/Waterproof-Silicone-...ase+for+o-rings

I've never seen anything faster than an idiot light switch. You could add switches in several locations all on the same light.

I'd mount a light high in your field of view, I have a homemade version of a prolight in my type 4 conversion '67 bug.
It has come on heavy cornering if I'm a 1/2 quart down, so I know it's instant and bright.

Does the pushrod tube need to be replaced you think?

I would never hear a buzzer
Road noise stereo noise. Etc

These lights work!
I have two of them
One for oil pressure and the 2nd for the alt/fan belt on a /6
(The fan belt is just as important as oil on a /6)

I know the lights work I just think they're ugly and I dont want them on my dash. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I'll give the siren a go first. If its not loud enough I'll have to think of something else but I'll probably just add one or two high intensity leds in the stock gauge cluster.

It doesn't look that badly dented. I think there's a lot of room in the tubes but I'm not an expert engine builder.

Thats my estimation too, I'll pull a tube from my spare engine after work and do some measurments. If I feel its too close I'll turn the engine over with the valve cover off to make sure the valve moves as it should.

Quick test video of my buzzer/beeper. My son is behind the camera manually grounding the oil lamp sensor to make it go off.
