Title: Temp sender and hoses Post by: Jesse/DVK on November 21, 2011, 13:44:51 pm Guys,
I found a nice 3/8NPT to AN8 adapter where an oil temp sender can be put in. But now the questions is to use it after the oil pump or in the return line from the external oil cooler to the case? What is the temp is should worry about most? Furthermore does anyone have an idea what temp a ceramic coated exhaust gets? This so I know if I can use black nylon braided oil lines?

You can install a heat sleeve over the hose like I have here.

I sell it all day for about $4.50/ft. Check with your local hos ehouse, they probably stock it. ;)
