yeah, but wouldn't you want the gauge inside the car where you can SEE it when driving? what good is the oil-temp if you have to stop to check it??? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

just a simple no hassle way to have a secondary direct reading gauge. No tubing or wires to run, I want one.

I just picked one up and it is aready on its way to me. For the past few months for me to to get a second accurate check on my oil temp I would stop and quickly snake a temp wire down the dipstick. This will really help me keep a no hassle track and use as a second to my oil temp "Guess o' Meter" on the dash.
I think it's brilliant. I like the idea of a mechanical oil temp solution and not just a VDO electric one. Here is the guys site: http://www.mainelycustombydesign.com |

QUOTE(Rockaria @ Sep 16 2003, 07:02 AM) i can't comment on the temp sender, but i can comment on the vendor. i bought one of his billet 911 sump plates to replace the warpy pressed steel OEM plate. VERY, VERY nice part. |

Brilliant idea. Found out at the track this weekend that using the 30 year old wiring in the dash to run a new temp guage and sender is not a good idea. Guage read 220 - probe through dipstick hole read 179.6. Guage at 260 - 180.1 in the dipstick hole. Thremal gun at the filter showed same readings. If you are going to run guages and expect accurate results, run brand new wires from the battery as well. I nice guage like the one in this thread will help to calibrate things and keep you from wasting time and worry on innacurate temp readings (or pressure, or voltage, or EGT, etc).

Do you think one would be effective for a /6?

QUOTE(Lawrence @ Sep 17 2003, 06:38 AM) Do you think one would be effective for a /6? donno that it's long enough or flexible enough to go through the dipstick guide tube in the oil tank filler neck -- or if there's be enough clearance between the stick shaft and the edge of the meter to get it into position far enough to get the cap back on. there's gotta be a better way ... |
