Re%3A Oil Temp gauge - TA

Post by Tudor Studios » Tue Apr 03, 2018 12:37 am

Hi Allen,
On my TC I have an adaptor that replaces the original sump plug. As you say the oil temperature gauge has a sensor bulb exactly like the water temperature one. It is a tight fit, but the nicety is that you do not need to make modifications anywhere else. One drawback however, is that its position so low in the sump, your gauge reading will not be too accurate. I suppose at the end of the day the choice is yours. I cannot remember where I purchased the adaptor from. I know it to be brass and I had overbore the hole to make the sensor bulb fit.
Kind regards,
Mike Bate,

Hi Allan, In my race car I used an oil filter adapter that had a well in it for the temp bulb. The adapter came from one of the race supply houses. You could probably plumb something in between the oil pump and filter. Another possibility is to arrange something like a well that taps into the banjo bolt where the oil line leaves the block to go to the head. I hate the thought of having something as delicate as the capillary tubing for the temp gauge at the bottom of the sump where something, like an errant stone, could shear it off.
