Interesting, I've had an EGT gauge installed for years but haven't drilled and tapped for the sensor. I'll go ahead and do that this weekend. Is a metal plate over the EGR port an okay mount location?

My temp sensor is actually an aftermarket digital one mounted to a vacuum pump bolt. My handheld infared thermometer says that the head has relatively uniform temps, always at the same level as what the digital one on the vacuum pump bolt reads.
