I'd like to add a head temp sensor to my 2 liter motor, i have the motor out of the car now, I like the idea of the spark plug gasket thermal couple, but it appears there is little room around the plug hole to get the wire out. Do you all grind away some of the metal on the head to install one, and if so which side is best to grind?
Also what are typical max. safe temperatures for the head? thanks d ave |

I have a cyl. head temp gauge installed on my 2.0, its connected to the 3rd cyl. The sending unit just slips over the plug and you install the plug with the sending unit. You can bend the sending unit 90 degrees having it coming out the tin vertical. I didn't have to grind anything it fit in the plug hole with no problems.
My head temp is usually at 350 degrees, it will go up when going up hills. I guess if it gets up to around 400 degress its time to start worrying. 375 and I'm worring. Attached image(s)
