I've been toying with this idea in my head for a while now, I know that there are businesses that produce oil level sensor block off plates for the USDM 3SGTE (for those who don't know, it's the engine from the MR2, JDM doesn't have an oil level sensor). I've seen this block-off plate from RacerXFabrication.com for $17. If it would work for the 1FZFE, I would rather pay the $17 for the block off plate for my broken leaky sensor, than a new sensor for over $300. I mean I could always find a used one, but I don't ever rely on a sensor to check my oil level for me.
1FZFE sensor part #: 89491-60010
3SGTE sensor part #: 89491-20050
When looking at pictures of both, their mounting plates look the same, the only difference being the float assembly. Fortunately for me I have a 3SGTE sitting in my garage, I plan to measure the mounting bolts for each to see if they match up accurately.
Any thoughts on this? Has anyone ever gone with a block-off plate for their oil level sensor?
I plan to take a look at the sensors this Sunday, I plan to post some pictures and the measurements then.
