FWTW -
A friend took a small "kitchen" type temperature gauge, added a short
extension & grommet (to keep oil in) so the whole thing was the length of his
regular dipstick; he used this to determine the oil temperature before &
after he installed an oil cooler on his Bugeye. Liked it so much he added
notches on extension and is using it as combination dipstick and oil temp
gauge.
