Second coolant temp sender

Post by JSF55 »

Any reason why it would be a bad idea to place it here ?
That's the rear of a rover Edelbrock manifold

I have put a sender where you have indicated and found it reads low.

This I now realise is because the coolant runs forward through the head on a RV8 and therefore gains more heat and is not the hottest at this point in the circuit. Of course, if you are fitting a custom management then you could adjust the warming up settings to suit the sender located at this point in the engine (Which I have done).

Be extra careful when tightening the manifold down as the 3/8" NTP hole will weaken the area.
