ummm you should get an oil adapter plate where your oil filter is at. you can put your oil temp/pressure sender there.

I tried my temp sender in the greddy sump and found it to be inaccurate as the oil temp readings were suspiciously cold. I then relocated it to the oil filter relocation block and found the temps to be about 10 degrees C warmer than the water temp which is about right.

So I would try and get some sort of adapter and mount it near the oil filter if you can to give you more reliable oil temps.
