I believe it is 1 1/16 I'm pretty sure anyway. I had to replace mine the other day as my scan gauge said I had 121psi of oil pressure.

Only the special socket will work with the coolant block off installed on the back of the head. If you remove it (10 mm bolt) it would be easier. I have the actual oil pressure sender socket...It actually has "Do not use with engine running" stamped into it. Damn you know someone did that and sued or something. PS there are 2 oil sender socket sizes... 1 1/16 and 1 3/16
