Hi everyone,
I am doing an installation of a 912UL, and I look that the oil temperature sender, which is right after the pump, which is right after the oil cooler (in the sequence of fluid flow).
Of course, the oil that comes in has just been cooled by the oil cooler, so its temperature will be representative of the effectiveness of my cooling installation.
But I would also like to know what is going on inside the engine, by monitoring the temperature of the oil EXITING the engine, going back to the reservoir. Putting a sensor on that line would give me a temperature reading of the INSIDE of the crankcase, which I find as important. Especially knowing how hot the oil gets in that engine!
I've done a search on this subject, without results.
So I would like to have your opinion on this subject. Would it be worth it? Has anybody tried it already?
I understand that an inline adapter would be necessary to be able to install a sensor. Or it could be integrated in the outlet fitting underneath the engine.
Thanks
