Do 1.8 heads have a port for a CHT sensor? If not, is there a place to easily add one?
All my cars have been 1.7's and 2.0's so i have never had a good look at a 1.8 head up close.
Thanks

Both my '74 and '75 1.8 motors had CHT sensors in the head next to #3 plug.

I am in the planning stages of helping someone convert their carbed 1.8 to megasquirt and needed to know if the port was there as i am planning on using a 1.7 djet setup as a base. I just have not been able to see the car yet myself.

Even if the hole isn't there, the casting boss is there on all T4 heads. As long as you can drill the hole straight (and at a right angle to the surface), you can install a CHT sensor on any T4 head. Busses use one of the holes for the screw that holds the tin in place, right next to the intake manifold). The Cap'n
