+1 but try to position it so that the probe faces the rear just to protect it a bit. Difficult to achieve though due to the position of the bend.lockman69 wrote:100mm down from the piston skirt...

It's from the side of the piston, so TDC or BDC doesn't matter

cheers for the info. still need a datum point to measure from don't I.... ? lets say exhaust port centre ?. don't want to feck it up . cheers simon
It does not have to be exactly 100mm, measure from piston to exhaust gasket face on cylinder then from exhaust gasket face on stub or exhaust, add thickness of gasket and mark the u bend. You create your own reference of the reads you get, if you get an air leak or so, you will notice a raise in temp. From your own reference when everything was fine...
. will have a measure up and weld the stub on for the probe. will take a pic or two of the progress. cheers simon
