there is no oil temp sensor/sender. you need to install a sandwich plate between the block and oil filter, and screw the sender into that.

you can add a oil pressure sensor to that also.

hey thanks bro, so what kind of plate? copper? or what ever, but like so if i stick that plate in and just attach the wire to that it would get a reading?

you will need to buy the sensor if you didnt get one with the guage.
