Respectfully, I would disagree.... put the temp sender in a position after the cooler just before it enters the oil supply galleries. This way you will know the temp going to the main bearings. ( very important ) It is inconsequential what the temp is in the sump or remote reservoir. Also some type of thermostat and cooler by-pass should be used to keep oil temps between 200 - 230 deg F. Never lug the motor with cold oil !
