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?

 

i believe if you tap it there. you will only see oil pressure when vtec comes on

 

Just tap the pan, easier IMO. I had mine tap'd n tig'd w/ a bung for $20!

hahahaha. temperature! oil temp.

anyhow, the T thats currently being used off the back of the block is all full and i dont feel like making a huge contraption of brass fittings, or even than buying another T haha

 

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.
