I have finally got the gauges installed in the car and the wires to the engine bay. (cht and oil pressure) I have been doing searches on the forum but i still have one question. To install the cht senor on cylinder 3 do i have to remove the tin on the engine if yes can it be done without dropping the engine, or can i just use a plug socket with cutting out a notch for the wire to go through.
thanks jc |

CHT Tool
also...don't forget to put a drop of crazy glue on the washer when re-installing. Don't know any other way to get it in there without it dropping into the tin. Attached image(s)

Is this for a CHT gauge or the CH temperature sensor for the signal to the ECU. it sounds like for a gauge. the ring for the gauge is placed under the #3 spark plug and you do not have to remove the tin. if its for the FI sensor, see above.

Tin on so that when you replace the plugs you do not loose the sensor under the tin. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

QUOTE(jc914 @ Dec 28 2008, 11:42 AM) its for a CHT Gauge. I ran mine thru the hole in tin for stock CHT sensor not straight thru plug hole in tin. I bored the ring out on the sensor just a little so it moved freely on the plug. I am able to hold the wire when tightening the plug down. There is a recent thread here or club that Racer Chris has a pic of how he has rigged his up so it stays in place when removing plug. jkp |
