Does anyone use an actual water temperature taken from a sensor on a
water hose? Or are you just using the sensor from the block as water
temp?
I have not flown my plane yet, but ground runs show a higher, and
climbing, in-hose temp than the block temp.

Hi Trey,
I placed my temp sensor in the hose at the bottom of the firewall and it was
good for telling when the thermostat opened.
Things would perk along at ambient for a while, then about 5 minutes in, the
temps would rise steadily to the thermostat setting.
Getting a read higher than the block temp is probably because the thermostat
is at the outgoing end of the block and the head sensor is at
the other end. I'd rationalize that the water was closer to the hottest
area just before the thermostat opened and that was the reading you
got. See link,

Good luck,
