Pro flow do a billet alloy thermostat housing that has a screw in hose tail for earlier ba,bfs, fg has the port blanked off. I wondered if I could use that port for the water temp sensor, what do you reckon? Is the top section of the thermostat housing blocked off with the thermostat until it gets to temp and opens up to let water to radiator? Cheers puff.

Chucking a temp sensor in the bottom of the housing will work just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will that be ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen thermostats with the jiggle pin and some with just a hole. You might notice a little jump in the temp when the thermostat cracks open if the pin is in place. If it's just got a hole then it should heat up more or less evenly. That is overthinking it though and doesn't matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
