On airplanes often airplanes will have an Exhaust gas temprature for each cylinder so that folks building their own cooling plenums (air) can verify that all cylinders are running smoothly and equally. I beleive they just port the exhaust manifold at a uniform distance from the head with a high temp thermocouple. Sounds like a lot of work, but it would be interesting.

Pyrometer/Thermcouples are common on large stationary Diesl Engines as well as on large Marine Diesel Engines.
