have you not found time to perform this experiment?
looking forward to hearing the results and see how well they correlate with the similar testing done by TJ90 on RL 3 1/2 years ago...

I wanted to last summer, but when I crawled under the car, I was unable to find those M10 threaded holes I remember seeing when I did my valve covers and spark plugs the first winter I had my 993. I guess with the exhaust and tin removed they were visible...don't know...can't remember.

Plan B is to thread studs where a thermocouple has been bonded within a hole in the stud into the unused exhaust stud holes.

I saw that thread. It just wasn't very concise in my opinion and as far as using a temperature gun, those can be off if not used correctly. I'd sooner use a thermocouple.

One day, maybe this summer. Its more of a curiousity thing. Either way, the engine isn't going to blow up. My first project will be producing bearings for our dual distributors.
