I broke mine off while installing my kit. I haven't had any problems. If it still clicks in you should be good.

if it still "sort of locks" I say you just try some of the ever useful ducktape to hold the two together more securely. :)

the oil gate is earls fuel block #100178 you'll need 2 2ft lines. The reducer from the block to the line,fittings for the block,gate,turbo and plugs. Its easy to figure out once you get the gate. late mike

well i suggest you go and buy a new one. mine broke also and i was leakin oil like a mad man. better safe then sorry. bought a new one and now im not worring 24/7 bout leakin oil. only bad thing is that its kinda spensive. for me it was 50 bux. but i think you said stuff is cheaper where you live so you might not pay that much.

for some reason my oil press guage isn't working anymore. i tried the ignition and grounds, those are fine, so it has to be the sending unit or the guage is busted. somehow i doubt it's the gauge. can you buy a replacement sending unit from autometer or someone else? any ideas?

Yeah it still locks in a bit. you can feel it while sliding it back on. Kinda like a little click. I'll go under tomorrow to check it out, and maybe apply the duct tape method...:P oh so ghetto.

speaking of ghetto, the return line was too long, so i just looped it literally...I'll work on posting some pics.
