Hello Net. After a foggy start today, then came the heat. I did not fly. I worked on diverting more cooling air to the oil cooler, which seems to want to heat up pretty fast with the turbo. I installed my second verturi and that exercise lasted most of the day, especially after my old car broke a tie rod on the way to the store for clamps. Five hours later I returned to the hanger to continue into the evening. As I try to clear my do list, things keep happening to make it longer. Yesterday I broke a switch to my instrument lights and now the wires are shorting my position lights. Several days ago I lost my EGT indication and now my number 3 and 4 CHT readings are fluxuation. It seems that the combo gauge is about to give up the ghost. I can go without EGT, but I can't fly the new engine without CHT. Tomorrow it seems that I must remove the instrument panel to investigate the gauge and fix the light switch, that's another all day affair.
