If there's in only one wire to the sensor, then it depends on the head for ground return, so you need an electriclly conductive way to attach it. It's a thermister, which changes resistance with temperature. I think head temps get up to at least 300 deg F normally. A helicoil might be a good solution. ******************************************************************************* Dirk Wright wright@uspto.gov "I speak for myself and not my employer" 1974 Porsche 914 2.0 "A real hifi glows in the dark and has horns" *******************************************************************************
