is it possible to tap here for an oil temp sending unit???
just wondering if i can put the sender for an autometer oil temp gauge in this spot on the head. i know it gets oil in it and doesnt get in the way of moving parts. anyone done it before?

The standard that people generally go by is oil pan temperature.The oil temperature varies in the engine, so if you measure it elsewhere it will be hard to compare with others that measure it in the pan.I've tapped the drain plug before (in the side of the pan,not the bottom).It just a pain when you change the oil.

You need an oil filter sandwich.
