engine oil temp sender
 

What are you guys using, I've looked on line and cant seem to find one, I send a message to Livorsi but have not heard back

thanks

Summit also carries them if you have one to get the numbers off side. It's a standard sender for many gauges.

thanks, new builds, I don't have one now..........I think the gauges are Autometer but the boats @ the lake

I am adding auto meter gauges and the senders look to be the same.

you have to use whatever your gauge requires, not all the same, may look idenitical but mine was 100 deg off, CP can tell you what fits what

Correct EZ............ CP sent me a catalog of the senders for the Autometer gauges

Ken,

Sent you a price list what I was quoted for Autometer gauges and sending units from Diamond Perfomance. I was told the sending unit is specific to the brand of gauge

Now all I have to do is drive four hours to see if their half sweep or full sweep, it makes a difference. :faint2:

thanks Chris

Anyone have their oil temp sender in an oil pan port. I know some like it before cooler and some who like it after cooler. I always figured if the the sensor was close to the pump you'd actually be getting a pretty accurate reading. Kinda like my water temp sensor I used a T fitting and installed it there. This was a project in the works that never saw the water so I never had a chance to see how either worked but the locations made sense to me. Especially for water temp sensor if your running x-over an bypass.

I have some new lines being made and new block adapter and I'm going to drill and tap the oil filter plug on the remote housing coming into the filter and before cooler for the sender

I plan to run a second set innpan this year, also at oil filter adaptor and have it on a switch to see both readings for the heck of it, as far as using a t, don't use any brass nipples from block to T, use black pipe, ask me how I know lol

Whats the issue FF false readings ?? Mercury uses a brass T fitting

I've heard of people doing the same thing. btw.... for those who are curious see below.

What's strange is what are the senders made of???

It states right on Livorsi's web site not to use any sealant or Teflon tap on their senders ( metal to metal ) I would bet most guys do

The T is fine. But don't use a nipple made of brass between them, I snapped one on my trans last fall cost me a trans ...if not rough water may not be an issue but I donrough wayer abuse a lot

I am looking for the picture to show you what I'm talking about but I can't find it

We've all done it at one time or another. Sometimes it will work and some not. But ya they make it very clear on their website and the instructions that you pitch in the trash prior to install.
