Thanks Ronnie.  Also thanks for the picture.  I'm off to the shop to make
some holes.

Andy, you won't be able to get matched temperatures - and it really doesn't
matter. You are looking at peak EGT for leaning and fuel injector balancing.
However, if you can install all 6 EGT's at the same distance from the intake
flange on the head, the temps will be closer.  I would suggest about 4" down
from the head, but you'll have to examine your own installation.  I had
angle valve heads, you have the parallel valves so the exhaust arrangement
may be a bit different.  
 
I mounted mine toward the inside to put them in a more protected location.

Anyone that is running a GRT EIS with a Lycoming IO-540, 260 HP, can you
tell me where you put the EGT probes on the exhaust?   Which way did you
have the probes pointing?  (in, out, forward, aft???)

 

Thanks,

 

Andy
