So I asked my mech to install an oil press. gauge and he did. I noticed it was tapped into the block and I asked him about the debris from the drilling if it would cause any scoring or anything. He said they grease the drill bit so the debris sticks to it or something and they use a magnet too. It sounds weird to me, is this accurate????

wtf? just get a T fitting and T off of where the stock pressure sender threads into. or use an oil filter sandwich plate to get pressure reading.
