Personally I don’t think it would be anywhere near as effective, as the engine guard is dependent on the oil heating the block/bolt that it is attached to where as if you monitor the oil temperature it will tell you way before the engine guard will. Of course you do have to look and monitor it.Quote:

interesting point, yes it would move a bit quicker, would you add a connector to the oil pressure port or what ?Quote:

I would put it In anywhere really that you can get to and put a T piece in without having to become a contortionist.Quote:

engine guard shows some photos of one install option that would be better, and that is just hose clamp to the body of your oil filter, good flow, only thin metal between sensor and flow and no mods needed.
although one draw back of this install if doing it that way with only one sensor might be if you have no oil flow it wont work, but if that happens i think your engine will seize before you overheat it ?
