What kind of temp sensor and gauge are you guys using in your heads?

Wanted to install a temp sensor in V4 looper port and starboard head. Any particular brand or model you guys have used? Thanks fellas.

well I had a hard time finding one and ended up getting two at Napa( Sierra Marine) years ago....

OMC made some but they are always out of stock... I bought two this year on ebay, one came with a teleflex gauge. what MODEL is your motor. my mid 90s V4 looper uses a 1/8th" pipe thread( blind hole) in the heads... I put one in each and have a separate gauge for each as well..

wellllll, not so fast!!...my block is called the EAGLE block and is also described as a 60 degree looper...they only made a few V4 in this style...90 hp 105 hp and 115 hp.

you probably have a 90 degree looper... and I am NOT sure what the 130 hp heads look like

but you can cross reference at several parts sights.

Cool, thanks bud. Yup 90degrees for sure. I tried to find a 1/8" NPT fitting at lowes to check with no success.
