Place for oil temp sensor – rethinking

I was trying to find more info about engine oil cooling and related things, while I found thisarticle about cool looking white *E72. The guy behind this gorgeus thing had used the oil pump plug for the pressure sensor where I’d have installed a temp sensor.

I got the picture from his article and added a green arrow where he had installed the sensor.

While reading his article, I suddenly realized that 4A-GZE with A/C is bit too tight to fit anything around the oil pump plug. My spare engine doesn’t have exhaust manifold or anything bolted on that side of the engine, so I was bit blinded with the space in the general area.

Otherwise, the sensor installation at that location seems doable. 🙂
