Most of the temp sensors (metal) I have found go up to ~250f which I'm guessing would be high enough but I worry a little about the wire that goes to the sensor...if I can get it out of the way or wrap it it something to protect it from the higher temperatures.

Back in the day, I used to race stockcars and gokarts, on the karts we had a head temperature sensor that was held in place by the spark plug, you could use one of these sensors under a glow plug(end of the day its a simple thermocouple) . They used to sell the sensors separately from the tach module (google digitron tach).

Agree that head temp is the better place to monitor. You can find thermocouples that are shaped to go under bolt heads. Very common in aviation. You'll need a bit more circuitry to read a thermocouple but your autostart will work better. The 003s start well when they are adequately preheated. They don't start at all if they aren't.
