What is everyone using the two sensor ports for. One I’ll use for temp but the other I don’t need to use for it original purpose and am looking for ideas on what to do rather then just plug it up.

Is the head the best place for a temp sensor though, I noticed some also using the thermostat housing.

Same here Warren, those ports in the head place the sensors too close to the cast iron, the thermostat housing is more open with more flow, giving a more representative temperature reading.
