Because the boat I bought last year has been built by someone else, has circulating pump removed with a crossover installed. Also has some other issues, water condensation buildup in valve covers, steam in exhaust, some oil comsumption. Also had to rebuild the heads because no8 was low on compression due to burnt valves.

Good idea that's probably the easiest, does anyone know what the thread is off hand? 1/4" npt?

Yea, pretty sure they are 1/4" NPT. I am adding a couple oil pressure switches (low like 2 lbs) to my risers and wiring them into the alarm circuit. I melted down a gil manifold last year when I somehow lost water to the port manifold.
