My
oil sensor is in the front of my Armando pan. The exterior readings there were 5-10 less than the dash gauge. The hottest the
oil has ever been was 230 on the gauge, and that's no big deal. That was the afternoon I tried the aluminum shroud and the coolant temp hit 220*F before I could cool it down.
I'll definitley include a t-stat with the cooler. One project at a time.
