I understand the consenses is that it should be on the upper line. I'm not questioning that, its just that John's response seem to contradict itself.
Let me show you what I mean:

get a new stat housing and move your sensor to the upper coolant elbow, where it will actually give you a proper reading

I get what he's saying here

You would think, but you are only reading the waste water temp, which is the highest possible temp in the engine.

This implies that he doesn't agree with what aNskY is saying(yes/no?)

Measuring the incoming temp is much more effective, b/c you can see a high spike in "INCOMING" coolant, letting you know your radiator is heat soaked and no longer cooling the water coming in.

Sounds to me like he does agree, now.
I have no real issue moving the probe. I believe that a brass plug, on the t-stat housing will seal just fine, and prevent leaks, bc in all honesty that all the probe is. I guess my next question would be, where would the ideal spot be on the water neck to tap?
