OK
I have head temp sensors on # 1 and 3 on a type 4
# 1 gives me readings at 180 after idle warm up 4- 5 min
# 3 gives me 260
after a short ( 1/4 mile ) drive # 1 is the same, but # 3 is climbing towards 350
what can cause this?
is this a tuning issue?
can this be a timing issue?
can this be a assembly issue?
the factory sensor tells my fuel injection the the temps are as high as the gauge reads
I'm just looking for all of the possibilities so I can start to run thru them
The experts will certainly chime in here, but the #3 cylinder is gonna be the hottest because it is the farthest from the cool air source and it's air (along with #4's) are on the side of the engine with the oil cooler.
If one CHT is used it is place under the #3 sparkplug for this reason. The #3 valve seat is usually the one to fail due to the extra heat there.
FWIW, I may be completely off base but that is my understanding.

#3 runs the hottest anyway. But I'm no expert. Just a cheap and a note to George. How's that bumper coming?
Valve Lash Issue?
pull a plug. could be lean.
