Nope, looking for coolant won't work. IIRC, you'll have a temp sensor on the passenger side head between the 1st and 2nd cylinders (from the front) on that head. On the driver's side between the 2nd & 3rd cylinders (from the front) on that head will have a knock sensor. Since the heads are identical, both sensors are exposed to the water jacket in the head.

Your temp sensor should be located as I have stated above, but do compare with the new sensor to make sure.
