Question about oil temp....

[Hammered]

sensors. Ive seen the kits to add a dial oil temp gauge at the case but is there a sending unit style kit out there. Seems I may end up with a few spare inches on my gauge rebuild/upgrade and figured why not?!? I just figured that since this is an air/oil cooled engine, why not monitor the oil?

Thanks in advance.

not sure what you are asking; mounting gauges on the engine beats them all to Hell.

How so Jim? It's easier to see the readout if the gauge is up near the regular instrument cluster.

I guess what Im asking is, is there a remote mounted gauge for the oil temp? Id assume any sensor as long as the threads are the same.

vibration beats the hell out of a gauge mounted on the engine, and looking at a lit gauge on the handle bar beats the hell out of looking at an unlit gauge under your leg..

Misunderstood your comment. Thought you were saying mounting the gauge on the engine was better.

I agree, mount the gauge up top.

There are tons of aftermarket oil temp gauges available. Try google.

Not sure what you want for a gauge but vdO have descent gauges for a gs and sensors can be screwed into multiple locations

Yeah something small and maybe LED to match what Ive got going on.

Thanks, thats right along the track I was thinking about.

Oil gauges, what a waste of time and energy. Grab the stator cover with your bare hand, if the oil's too hot you'll know it!

Im starting to wonder if you and Jeep arent related.
