Is this large enough... or can you mod it to be large enough to fit:
- oil pressure sender for factory gauge
- oil temp sender for factory gauge
- oil sump drian plug (committed to the low lyfe, bad idea)
- oil tank drain plug?
- some other unused port with a plug in it right now? (also probably where the Bosch sensor would go...)
- some case bolt with not a lot of air flow over it cyl. 3 or 6?? ..
It'll probably leak like a sieve. Prefect, up-to-temp. oil leaking all over the sensor for accurate measurement! 
Alternate option maybe the Bosch sensor can be adapted to be the oil tank drain plug, that'd be interesting.
OK I'm out/ |
I like where your head is at, but I think all of those options would leak oil and the Dude can't abide oil leaks.
I'm going to try tapping the breather cover and stabbing the Bosch sensor in it. The threads are the same chunk of brass as the probe, so I figure the breather case will provide engine temp even if it's not exactly oil temp. I should be able to tune around it pretty handily...as long as it holds temp.
