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 |

The stock sensor was on #3! BUT the factory designed that location not to be at head temperature and only to let the brain know if the engine was hot or cold- not a definite temperatyure.
I tested this during my cooling system test and found that the stock position would never go above 220 degrees. It did however stay hotter longer when the engine shut off, so the car could be restarted after a few minutes and not go rich on the FI... I have written a very uin depth tech article that will be up on my site as soon as we are ready to blast away with the updated version.. about 2 months out. |
