<VV> Head Temp Sensor

[MarK Durham]

Rich, a lot of aftermarket gauges have used the spark plug copper gasket as
the sensor for 60 or 70 years on aircraft. They did not put sender holes
until later, and of course automotive used sender's into the water jacket
and adopted that style for this engine.
