You would need to drill a small hole in this area and figure out
how to imbed a small thermocouple. I suspect it takes some kind
of ceramic insulation to do this and still not short the thermocouple.

There is no problem with "shorting" the thermocouple because the tip is
already shorted to itself.  The issue is one of grounding.  Either the
engine and thermocouple reader must share the same ground or the reader
must be totally isolated otherwise you could have problems.
