Subject: EGT measurement

Yes, and a digital EGT gauge is mandatory.  The resolution on analog
meters
is not good enough to get a really close match.  I like to get EGT
differential less than 10 degrees at cruise conditions.  Having only two
(or
three on 20B) EGTs to match is another advantage of the rotary :-)

Tracy:

What thermocouples do you use for EGT and how are they placed?  How far from
the port?  In wells; or strapped on the outside? How long do they last.
Thanks,
