Do 1.8 heads have a port for a CHT sensor? If not, is there a place to easily add one?
All my cars have been 1.7's and 2.0's so i have never had a good look at a 1.8 head up close. Thanks -James |

Both my '74 and '75 1.8 motors had CHT sensors in the head next to #3 plug.

Thanks
I am in the planning stages of helping someone convert their carbed 1.8 to megasquirt and needed to know if the port was there as i am planning on using a 1.7 djet setup as a base. I just have not been able to see the car yet myself. QUOTE(Cevan @ Apr 20 2009, 11:24 AM)  Both my '74 and '75 1.8 motors had CHT sensors in the head next to #3 plug. |

Even if the hole isn't there, the casting boss is there on all T4 heads. As long as you can drill the hole straight (and at a right angle to the surface), you can install a CHT sensor on any T4 head. Busses use one of the holes for the screw that holds the tin in place, right next to the intake manifold). The Cap'n
