Kevin,

I'm certainly no expert but in my opinion any information you get from the
engine compartment is good information.  That said, I don't believe the
cylinder temperature is as useful on a wasserboxer as it is on a luftboxer.
In theory the collant is keeping the heads at a nice even temp unless
something is terribly wrong.  I wouldn't go out and buy a guage and sensor
but if I had them I'd probably try to put it in.
