So I want to start monitoring my oil temps but my car needs the plate ($$$$$), gauge and sender however, I was quoted at $200 for the kit.
Any way around this? Could I just monitor head temp? I think my engine is running too hot but I have no way to tell. Cheapo suggestions appreciated thanks- |

Bear with me here,
I have a few of these units however I remove the steel tube and carefully lengthen the wires so I can take temp readings on surfaces or liquids. I gutted a intake water temp sensor removing the epoxy etc and installed this temp sender in it place using quick set epoxy. They are real accurate and react fast. The battery's last for months if you remember to turn them off. You can use one of these and some wire and get a good reading for less than 10 dollars. Don't laugh they work great! I used them to evaluate my inner coolers and other coolers on lots of projects.. Link |
