          Do not mount the temp sensor there.

              why do you say that?

              what are my other options? an addapter where the factory one is, that allows both to screw in to it?

              tap a new thread somewhere?

                      we have something that comes out of the block. (exhasut side)
                      I always thought it was a sensor for oil temp or pressure or something, i may be wrong though

                      oh and thanks dan :D

                              That's a pressure sender to cancel the warning light on the insturment cluster.
