REFLECTOR:ENGINE MONITORING

[Scott Derrick]

All cylinder EGT and CHT, absolutely!

You'll thank your self over and over.

There are so many scenarios where a multi-cyl egt/cht gauge will save 
your bacon and your pocket book. Not to mention the numerous times when 
you'll hear some engine burble or cough and you look at your egt-cht 
gauge and see that all 4 or all 6 are marching along in formation as 
they should...  Or you see a low egt on cyl #4 and you know immediately 
who's causing the problem, this is especially helpful during a runup.
