Default temperature sensor
Hello all. Swapping out my heads to world torquer sr and the hole for the temp sensor is to small. 3/8 npt on the world heads I believe. Wondering what others have done. New sensor or adapter? Forgot to mention its a 74 .
Thanks Brent

I drilled out the head and tapped it to 1/2"npt so the original sensor would fit.

I believe Willcox offers a product where they machine down the sensor to the smaller size. Also, some people relocate the sensor to the intake manifold.
