Accuracy and response time are kinda important. The goal is don't warp the cylinder head by installing grill blocks and driving it in Georgia in the middle of August.

So the one you have a picture of, it's like the probe is inside that bolt-looking contraption, I'm calling that a tap because it gets tapped into somewhere that has coolant or whatever, let me know if there's a more accurate term.

Question 1:
If I buy a probe/tap combo thing like your picture above, will it still work with the readout device I have? Or would it in all likelihood be calibrated wrong? I could test it with a kettle of boiling water, but I think it's better to find out before I buy it.

Question 2:
Assuming any probe/tap combo like that which I got would be calibrated wrong for my readout thing, what I was trying to ask in OP was is there just the tap portion I can buy somewhere then put my probe into that empty tap? Or maybe I just get a bolt and drill a hole in it that fits then use the bolt as a tap?
