Thanks to all who provided feedback to my question regarding EGT sensors. Good responses and food for thought. I weas hoping someone had found a way to clamp sensors to the exhaust stacks for EGT. I will be going with O2 sensors in the exhaust with a panel mounted guage for leaning the mixture. Thi

Sorry.I started using "EGTs" in that last post, but given that I was making CHT probes (for this explanation), I should have mentioned that the rest of the message was regarding CHT probes, since that's the question that was asked, and hence the "Type K" thermocouple wire, and the ring term

Hi JIm I think there is some confisuion here. The EGT would not work on a common exhaust. The downflow probes would be heated by multiple cylinder. Those probes need a hole in the down pipe ideally just 2 inches from the head. This would be helpful to ID a cylinder that is down on power i

Hi Mark, Thanks for the rapid response. I kinda thought the answer was what you said but was wondering if there was a way to do it sorta like when you use the 14mm sensors under the spark plugs to eliminate drilling into the exhaust pipes themselves. I was hoping to clamp the sensors to the pipes r
