Yes it will fit. It is NOT the most accurate place to check coolant temperature. But many people do it.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
well, I guess the most accurate would be in the head?Yes it will fit. It is NOT the most accurate place to check coolant temperature. But many people do it.
I had thought about getting another threaded block off plate before. Guess I should have stuck with that idea.The passengers side of the rear of the head has an open port that is plated off. You could use that if you have another threaded plate like the left side rear port has. If you still want the idiot light to work you could move the current idiot light sending unit to the crossover manifold and then put your temp gauge sending unit in the left head where the stock idiot light sending unit was. Good Luck. I think the fact that the coolant crossover is thinner aluminum and smaller would be inaccurate because it allows the water to be cooled on 360 degrees and thru aluminum. Unlike the cast iron engine and heads. Do as you wish it is your truck. I suspect it will never hurt a thing either way you install it. The head is jusyt more accurate of internal engine coolant temperature. probably with in a few degrees either way.
Nice Looking engine... I really wish I had pulled this engine when i first started, if I had to do it over (Which I Pray that I Never Do) I would pull the engine before doing anything else.View attachment 698216This is what the engine looked like that I changed the head gaskets and all the other gaskets and seals on.
Yeah no kidding... hope it fights just as hard to stay runningGood to hear you got it done. It sure put up a good fight.
