Bill, for what its worth.  I block the EGT openings using "Potters Clay". 
Its a ceramic based "high temp" clay that when fired becomes hard.  On each 
rotor housing there is an "pocket" on the inside of the rotor housing on the 
opposite side of the casting wall from the exhaust EGT opening.  I simply 
pack the clay in that cavity until its even with the side of the housing, 
clean off any excess.

I have an aluminum block where the oil filter would normally go that has a 
channel for oil to flow through.  I tap that block for both my oil pressure 
sensor and my PSRU oil.  There are other places you can do so as well. But, 
I think that one is the easiest.

Ed
