Will try that, I need to get a sensor in there first though. Any foreseeable downsides to taking those sealing pieces out? What do you guys think the max engine

Without a doubt. Sometimes my hood is too hot to touch, and I have no problem stirring my morning 155F homemade latte with a finger.
Here's my guess. Engine bay temp is within 20F of your oil temp at any given oil temperature. Also, assuming the engine bay temp would never be above oil temp. Hell, I'll go test this with my wireless grill thermometer later tonight.

I know you guys are serious, and it will probably work, but I'm still laughing.

No reason it wouldn't work fine near the engine, it's sensitive. Always pins ambient air temps too.. |

My grill thermometer may have just been retasked completely. Why buy a scan gauge to monitor intake temps? I'll just duct tape the probe and transmitter to the intake, then tape the receiver/display to my dash. LOL! As for the dyno chart....that torque curve is as flat as my old girlfriend's...

Works great in the oven.. can't imagine a hot engine bay would be any different.
Ok spearfish.. get a cassarole together, throw it on the engine, hook your themometer up and get to driving already! two birds with one stone! |

I'm driving up to our 'Supercar Saturday' car show in the AM. Definitely going to use the ol' thermometer to see the engine bay temps. Prepare to be dazzled people. Hell, I'll even make an HD video for you with my iPhone 4 .
