I'm using a gauge I got from George that fits correctly with a 60mm core, but it doesn't have a scale. I was thinking I'd get a meat thermometer with a long cord and dropping it down the oil tank. If I did it before and after a drive, I could kind of calibrate the gauge My concern is that the tank temperature would be significantly different than the case.

Point the infrared at the bottom of the case, it doesn't have to be at the plate. A thermometer would need a long lead to reach the oil in a tank, plus a small head you risk dropping it into the tank.
