Is it at all possible to remove the engine tin over the oil cooler and temp sensor without dropping the engine? I need to get at both the oil cooler top and I need to replace the temperare sensor.
If so what should I look out for? |

I put a custom fuel injection setup and am using a megasquirt engine management system on it. It works fine but the cylindar head temp sensor is very nosy electrically, I will be replacing it with a type K themocouple together with a themocouple amp with offset correction and some op-amps to make it act like an thermister with a negative temp curve that the megasquirt expects. This will isolate the temp sensor from the engine ground that electrically noisy.
I had put an extra duct in the heater blower to go to the other side. It slipped off its mounting and got sucked into the impleler. I pulled a mess of wire with sheaded plastic out of the impeller and since that event the oil temp has been a bit warmer that before. Since I need to access the temp sensor on that side I can inspect the top of the oil cooler for plastic bits that may be blocking some of the area, That front tin pieces you sold to me a few years ago has been installed and is working fine. |
