Mounting it on the oil cooler will not give you a true oil temp. The
best place is actually in the oil sump. On a T-3, if you can get it
adapted into the oil dipstick tube right at the bottom, would work. And
if you screw up installing it, no big deal. Just replace it.

Not really, as it is apt to get disturbed and be in the way for changing
spark plugs. Leon Martinez mounted his under the upper-outer head
stud/nut. He has one on each head, and I think a selector switch so he
can check each head.
