REFLECTOR: EGT Probe location for GRT EIS

[Ron Brown]

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
