IMO this is a useless project since oil temp closely follows coolant temp & if the coolant temp is ok, oil temp should be ok. Oil pressure is another story & quite worthwhile to have a accurate gauge. I installed a oil pressure gauge on my rebuilt engine to monitor for initial startup & break-in. I can supply a metric to 1/8" pipe thread adapter to accept most standard gauges to mount on the camcover if you want to go that route. Gauges are fairly inexpensive so I wouldn't bother with the group buy just focus on doing this right the first time. I used VDO since they make OEM gauges for Porsche. Autometer makes a A-pillar mount for gauges.
