Oil temp sensor, adaptor bushing, and o-ring EVO temp sender assembled
Twin Cam Engines
The supplied oil temperature sensor replaces one of the oil pan plugs in twin cam engines, and
no adaptor bushing is needed.
Oil Temp sensor and harness
Now you are ready to install the sensor into the oil pan. You can do this at an oil change so you do not
have to worry about losing oil, or if done quickly you should only lose a small amount of oil. First locate
the allen head plug on the front bottom side of the oil pan, or the drain plug. The plug for twin cams is on
the left of the oil pan drain plug that is used to drain the engine oil for an oil change. It is a 3/8” NPT
allen head plug that should be flush with the oil pan. See photo for the correct plug. Wipe any road
grime and oil from around the sensor so the area is clean. Use a 5/16” allen wrench to remove the plug,
or a ¾” wrench for the drain plug on EVO applications. Have the sensor ready to thread in so minimal oil
is lost. Tighten the new oil temp sensor with a ¾” wrench.
NOTE: Check oil level after installing this sensor, refill oil as needed
