Today I installed my CHT and oil temp probes. These probes came with my Stratomaster instrument package from MGL Avionics.
To allow the CHT probe to be fully installed into the hole provided in the cylinder head, I needed to shorten the probe's spring. Surprisingly, the spring was easily cut with a pair of wire cutters.
Prior to installing the probe, I added a generous glob of thermal grease to the tip of the probe.
I used a pair of vise-grips and a socket to tighten the probe. I tightened to a snug fit.
The oil temp probe threaded directly into the opening provided in bottom of the oil tank. I used Teflon tape to seal the threads.
