Paul-

Started instrumenting the engine.  Here is a snap from my online photo
albumn of the EGT sensors for each rotor.  Click the photo to get a
hi-rez version if desired.

And here is one of the EGT sensor down-stream of the VAM muffler --
should make for some interesting readings to compare upstream vs. down...

And finally -- here is how I decided to go about mounting the upper pipe
on the water pump.  BTW - is this the inlet from the Rad, or the outlet
to the Rad?  The reason I ask is that I mounted a water temp sensor here
& need to know whether it is pre or post rad to make sense of the
readings I will (eventually) get.  It is welded -- just from the back,
so you don't see a bead.  And, the internal hole for the thermostat has
been welded closed as well.

Tomorrow is radiator mounting day -- maybe oil cooler mounting day
depending on how efficient I am.  Today was not very efficient -- my
hangar mate did his 1st flight in his Lancair so much hoopla prevented
any meaningful work...

That is the outlet to the rad Mark from the block. Bad place for a water
temp sensor. If you get low on water you won't know the real temp of the
water. I know Mazda put it here but that is a mistake. Best to put another
one down low someplace.
