Kevin,

=A0

I=A0think you want to=A0measure the temp of the coolant=A0as it exits = the engine.=A0 That way you know how close you are to your upper operating = limit.=A0 If you have a second input, you can measure the temps after the r= adiator.

Oil temps are just the opposite... measure temps after oil has been th= rough the cooler and is entering the engine.
