Fair game. RTFM advised 
Thanks for the info folks.
I was thinking about CHT's as well as EGT and manifold pressures. More monitoring is usually better than less.
Especially if you run it into an arduino or something to get a warning rather than monitoring gauges as the sensors are dirty cheap just the gauges that get pricey, and a mate of mine is building a multi-channel EGT monitor.
Is the stock temp sensor in the head or the block ?
Speaking of incorrectly following guides, I got a CRX from a Honda dealer once with a suspect "broken head" due to snapped timing belt.
Turned out they hadn't followed the Honda workshop manual when fitting the new belt, else they'd have diagnosed a seized Distributor.
Luckily I had one on the shelf. Just wish I'd fitted it at the dealer and driven away
