OK Ed Anderson.

I bought two of these four channel thermal couple RS232 network modules 
and 50 feet of K type thermal couple wire from omega.com. 
I bought K type as we can use it for turbine inlet temp and 
other exhaust system temperature measurements. Over kill 
of course on rad air outlet. I can make up junctions with
my tig welder.

Do you have a notebook computer?
If so let me know when you are ready to make some measurements
for us and I can ship you the system on loan.

If not I can fly over there and bring my notebook computer
and help out. 

BTW Vince Leonardo the engineer at Omega (ext 2319) understood immediately
what we were up to putting rotary engines in airplanes as he was
very very familiar with piston engine exhaust valve problems. In his opinion
exhaust valve failure in heavy duty piston engines is not a question
of if.... but is a question of.... how soon :-)
