Apologize if this is a dumb question...
I want to add a Cyl head gauge to my 2.0 engine. How do I do this? I know I have Cylinder 3 with the EFI head measurement, but where do I add an additional sensor? Thanks, Larouex |

Whoops! I linked to my EGT install. Here's the CHT install info:
I finally invested in a CHT gauge. This is the one I got. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/www.aircraftspruce.com-419-1271116884.1.jpg) I wanted to get a temperature compensating model. VDO CHT gauges read high or low depending on the ambient temperature in the cabin. And as a bonus, this model is about $15 cheaper than the VDO. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) It should be here Saturday, and then I get to install it. It will be interesting to see what my head temps are running at with 9.5:1 compression. I wanted to get a baseline of CHT and oil temps before I pull the motor and upgrade the cam. |

I am interested in this subject, too, so please provide it when you can. Thanks! |
