have you tried putting the sensor in boiling water to see how fast it rises and if it reaches 100C?

When the piston expands to the point it has no clearance on the barrel.

Don't think you'll be able to quote a precise figure on that as it will be different on different engines.

Mines sip as well but it will drop to the air temp near enough when cold
