Thanks! And my accident happened on Houston Levee. I do drive down Austin Peay now everyday for work though.

Just noticed your contraption for the oil temp probe. If I'm seeing what I think I'm seeing then you put a threaded NPT fitting into the AN hose fitting, followed by a collar nut and then inserted the probe into that. I assume that was to make up the length difference in the probe compared to the oil line fitting.

If so, that's brilliant!!! How did it work out for you? I tried something much more complicated and am not happy with the out come. My next step was to tap the oil pan spacer but if this worked for you it's much easier than pulling the pan.

Yep that's exactly what I did lol. I ordered the AN fitting from a local shop with a 1/8 NPT thread (I think). Then I went to Home Depot and pieced the rest together. It works pretty good. There is a little lag in the reading because the probe is somewhat recessed and not fully immersed in the oil current. But it has worked pretty well for me.

Awesome!

I order that AN fitting off summit racing but didn't use it because of the depth of the probe. I'm going to try your setup before I pull the pan

Awesome! I originally ordered a small spacer but it still wasn't long enough. So I went to Home Depot with my probe and messed around with some of their fittings and made it work.

Got this in yesterday! Im excited. Its a shame that this has to be hidden. Im pretty sure this is singlehandedly the most expensive part on my car aside from the motor :ughdance:

VERY NICE!

400ft/tq at 3,750rpm is very impressive.

On a side note, my wife and I just had a good laugh watching the in cabin video...two men giggling out of control is very entertaining :tup:.

I have been lazy because of the cold. Im just being a sissy, its only about 25. Which isn't as cold as most places, especially since I'm in a garage. But you can rest assured this will be kept up.

Haha yeah. Thats how it usually is when I'm driving the car. Since I drive it sparingly, when I do, I get too happy lol.

Completed my ghetto HD gimmick fitting oil temp sensor install today. Seemed to work reasonably enough. Close enough that I doubt I'll bother tapping the oil pan.

Thanks for the idea:tup:
