Thats a good place to measure the oil temp, but how about using a braided stainless hose so you can mount that sensor remotely? A bit of vibration over time and that neck could break the way you have it.

Chris,

One of the reasons I designed my version of the remote oil filter adapter with three "clean oil" ports (photo attached) was so that one could be used to take a temperature reading just before the oil goes down to the eccentric shaft bearings. That's where the oil needs to be ~160 - 180 degrees.

This is just the opposite from the way the factory has the coolant plumbing run as the stock coolant temperature sensor is near the thermostat housing as it comes out of the engine and into the radiator. I do not know where the stock oil sensor is located (if I did, I now forget) but Al G. and John Dibble state the temp should be taken for oil coming out of the coolers. Heck, if this is the case, my oil may be quite a bit cooler than I was thinking. Opinions please. It should not be too difficult to add a sensor to where the oil enters the engine. Don't know if the Delta will be much, but perhaps enough....

What say Ye?

Chris
