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.
I ended up with an adapter that looks very similar to what Dale has done. I started with the sensor mounted in a
4-port, firewall-mounted, two-can filter mount similar to what Dave seems to be describing. It seemed to measure way
lower than what I expected, which is the reason I moved it. The delta was something like 20 degrees low in the filter
mount. I attribute the lower reading to not having adequate oil flow around the sensor. In the filter mount, the
sensor sits back in a sort of alcove. Up on the adapter, it stick into the middle of the flow.
