i find this location works well also.  Although oil does not always flow
there, the case gets real close to the oil temp in that location.  In fact. i
use this set up on my 87 syncro and it works great.  You can see the oil temp
climb when pushing the engine hard while the water temp remains stable.  it's
amazing how much the oil and water temp can differ.  Especially with the
original oil to water heat exvhanger repalced with a real oil cooler.
