I'm running carbs on my 73 2.0L so don't need the CHT sensor for D-Jet but thought I would block off the hole in the head to keep it from filling with crap. I was planning to just screw my old sensor in but it is so far MIA. My second thought is to source an aluminum bolt from McMaster Carr but not sure of size. Looks like probably M8x1.25 from what I've been able to find but would like to confirm and not sure of depth. Unfortunately I installed the heads and tins before thinking about this so it isn't very accessible.
Would an M8x16mm aluminum bolt work there and does anyone see any problem with doing that? I know I'm probably overthinking this but that's kind of my thing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

I know I'm anal about wanting weight reduction. Sheesh you're hardcore by rejecting brass vs. aluminum! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) I didn't think brass played nice with aluminum. Also wasn't sure about the expansion properties. Paranoid about cracking a head putting the wrong thing in there and not knowing enough about what I am doing. I'd rather just leave the hole open and not be able to enjoy driving the car known it might be filling with gunk than crack a head. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) @Olympic 914 thanks for the tip on the extension. I also thought about just buying a CHT to screw in their but realized that my cheapness is bigger than my OCD (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) |
