RE: [T3] My engine update (head sensor)

<x-charset iso-8859-1>Yeah, that would be a good idea . Under the FI sensor is 
far from alot of the usual heat near the combustion chamber
or the exahust. I opted for the exhaust side because of the 
lack of fins and the constant hot gases. The other bolts as 
well as the plugs get a little cooler when the intake comes 
in.

What are the usual temps that you see using your plug temp \
setup?

Yea, I have mine under the #3 plug and as you said it's pain in the you know
what when it's time to change plugs.  I tried under the FI head temp sensor
and I got a much cooler reading than the spark plug so I went back to the
plug.  I like the under the head bolt idea alot though.  Next time the
engine is rebuilt that would be the way to go...
