1. A temperature sensing system for sensing cylinder head temperature in an internal combustion engine, with the engine having a cylinder block having a piston reciprocally housed in a cylinder formed therein, and a cylinder head having a fire deck, with the cylinder head being mounted to the cylinder block so as to close the outer end of the cylinder thereby defining a combustion chamber between the cylinder head fire deck and the top of the piston, with said system comprising:

  • a temperature sensor having an elongate portion in operative contact with the cylinder head for sensing the temperature of the cylinder head such that, when installed, said elongate portion is axially deformed by a predetermined amount, to provide a thermally conductive engagement with the cylinder head.
