Can anyone confirm the thread size in a standard 1275cc head for the water temp sensor.

5/8 UNF but tapered. Saul Bellow - "A great deal of intelligence can be invested in ignorance when the need for illusion is deep."

Well, I had my SPi head tapped 5/8 UNF parallel and the sensor bottoms out on the hexagon and is a poor seal.

hmmm, i had an adaptor knocked up to fit a jap sensor in the head (std undrilled), as with you Paul it bottoms out all the way to the flats and did weep slightly, ptfe seems to have it under control now, but i guess time will tell "Turbo's make torque, and torque makes fun"

The SPi coolant temp sensor will fit in the same hole as the temp gauge sender. The SPi sensor is a two part item, it has an 'olive' type fitting with a backing nut. The sensor bottoms out in the hole in the head and the nut seals it in, it screws in finger tight and is just nipped to seal it.

are either of these sensors up to the job of sending to a guage with numbers on, or are they BL stylee vague? im looking into new guages and just wondered if these were in need of a change |

Fit a mechanical gauge, I know the TIM one will fit the same hole. They even supply an adapter to fit a 5/8unf through hole without a seat. On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:
