[Supras] Oil temp sensor location?

[Walker2, Brian (Rich. Dist)]

That makes sense, otherwise you're measuring oil temps on avg. right?
(turbo, cams, etc.) I think this will be more expensive than I thought
but it's important to monitor. Almost seems like you could use a sensor
with the right thread in place of the drain plug, then you'd have good
placement and no additional holes in the pan (unless you don't want to
monitor oil temps at the bottom of the pan?

Relocation kit is the easiest way, if in a rebuild..add it to the pan
for accurate temps.

Oil temps are indicative of bearing temps..and pan temps are the best
place to get those.
