June 18, 2008 - EGT Sensors

 The Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) were a little more involved the the CHT sensors but not much.  You have to drill a 1/8" hole in each exhaust manifold.  You want the sensors a uniform distance away from the exhaust manifold flange in a 2 to 8 inch range.  Because of the way each pipe bent and the connect mechanism, I really didn't have much choice in the placement.  For my setup, it was 2" from the flange. 
  
This is the right side.  I have the probes facing forward so they wouldn't interfere with the spark plugs.  I checked and made sure there were no interference problems with the bottom cowl. 
  
The probes on the left side pointed aft.
