<x-charset iso-8859-1>Hello all,
After reading Shad's last reply about oil and head temps I began
wondering about which sensors are the most accurate and important to have in
our Type 3's. Sounds like Shad is somewhat of an expert on the subject.
Maybe he could share with us the placement and installation methods he uses
on his engines. I'm sure all of us would breath easier with a small
instrument cluster slung under our dashes with accurate readings from our
engine compartments. I would love to hear from anyone with experience on
sensor types and placements.
Specifically:
1. Where is the best place to install an oil temperature sensor and where
can we get the best type?
2. What types of oil coolers or sumps are the most effective at reducing oil
temperature?
3. What is the best way to read head temps?
4. Where/how do you tap into the oil system to tee off to an external oil
cooler?
5. Any recommended modifications to cooling air supply or stock oil
thermostat setups?
Pretty general questions I know, but maybe we can work some of these
out together.
