Water temp guage
I have a auto meter water temp guage that has a large manual probe and the port on the back of the right head is 1/4 pipe can I safely drill and tape this to 3/8 to make this guage work without damaging the head? Thanks

Before I drilled the head, I would go on the Auto Meter website and look for a different temperature probe. They are not that expensive (starts at $13).

They also have an install kit for LS engines, with the required fittings. The link below even comes with the short temp sensor ($35).

In the long run it is better to spend a few bucks right now to get the proper part. Once you drill, you're stuck with your new size hole.
