A buddy of mine tried that; it didn't work. Basically it is measuring heat. Well; the manifold radiates heat, and screws up the readings.

HI!... If your talking about installing a EGT (exhaust gas temp) sensor, then make sure you install it on the #5 cylinder. That would be the driver's side front cylinder. It is known as running the leanest of the 8 cylinders.
