Coolant temp sensor locations

sen2two · 07-06-2012, 08:14 PM

I have an FC aluminum water pump housing on my 12a, and I normally use the stock temp sensor location for my gauge located on the back side of the water pump housing. I have also ran a sensor in the radiator in the past as well. I have been thinking about changing the location to the sensor located in the rear iron right below the oil pressure sending unit.

Is there any advantage or disadvantage to one location vs. the other? I would think that the sensor in the block would be the most beneficial temperature to moniter. thoughts?
