Ken,
This is the bottom line. You need a thermocouple
down near the metal liner right next to the spark plug.

Yep.
Ken Welter and I had a telecon about this.
You drill a very small hole next to the leading plug down
to the steel liner through a web in the rotor housing
and insert a thermocouple from Omega.
