Got the oil pan out and looking to add an m12x1.25 bung for an oil temp sensor. Any suggestions on placement? This is where I am looking at right now. Nice flat spot toward the rear of the pan. I'm assuming the lower the better to catch temperature when the fluid is low? So basically where the pan starts to get flat.
Thanks

I'd prefer to place it in a place that has flow.

Well, the pickup is right there...
usually I see them mounted near the oil pump housing, you can tee off the oil pressure fitting. Ideally I'd think coming off the oil filter housing would be best.
Standard fittings locations won't work well as I have a straight threaded sensor with a washer. Much like a drain plug. Also, I believe those locations are after the cooler so you aren't really seeing how hot the oil is getting.
Well I drilled and tapped my drain plug for mine. It's where the stock sensor is located on the Evo so I figured it was a good spot.

Hmmmmm...wonder if the evo plug would just thread right inOriginally Posted by aaronatstate
if you cant fix it with a hammer...then you have an electrical problem
Annnd done... Welded a nut to the back of the pan. Flattened out the front with a file. Should have no problems with the seal.
It would if you drilled and tapped the drain plug for it.Hmmmmm...wonder if the evo plug would just thread right in
LoL, no...i mean using the evo plug thats already got the sensor in it
looks like the evo thread pitch is M14x1.5...
