water pipes

[bodge]

Hi wot pipe is best to put a temp senser in ? the one from the head or the one from the pump?

I take it one will show engine temp and the other the temp after it has been cooled.

theres no point of showing the temp after its been cooled if your using it to determine your motor over heating then putting it after your radiator is pointless

Yes, it needs to go between the water pump and the radiator, that way you know what the coolant in the motor is doing.................... :beer:

that would be the bottom hose then?

but i have been told it flows from the head to the rad at the top then out the bottom to the water pump through the engine and so on.

I put mine 6-8 inches out of the head... I wanted to know my max temp thats comming out of the engine.

i think head to rad... the pump flows cooled coolant through the engine up and out of the head to the rad.

I'm pretty sure out of head is return to rad (hottest readings?)

here is mine I just cut hose & put T in line

right side view

 

top to rad

left to head

rt to gauge

gave me the best angles w/o kinks

Your in good shape... IMO you want to know the MAX temp. Installing it before the pump really isn't going to tell you how hot the engine is. Since that coolant just came from the rad, its going to be considerably cooler than actual engine temps..

 

Check it...
