We got one recently, but it turned out it's for experimental only, with no paperwork. We need a tso'd product.

Plain jane, no de-ice, etc., but do need alternator belt (standard size!) capabilities. Going on a RV-4....

Are all the probes the same? Sometimes a spark plug probe will be used on the cylinder that incorporates the original cylinder head temperature probe and that spark plug location is inherently hotter than the normal probe position. This cylinder is the #3 on many planes, as that cylinder seems to be the hot one, being picked by the OEM for the probe location. The solution is to get a "piggy-back" probe from JPI, which allows the OEM probe to be mounted at the same location as the JPI probe. 2. The back side of the #3 cylinder (actually the intake side of all cylinders) has essentially no air flow passages. Many planes use a flat aluminum shroud in that area, blocking any air flow around the back side of the #3 cylinder. As soon as you look you'll see what I'm talking about. The solution is to bend the shroud to the rear by maybe 1/4 inch, which seems to be enough to cool the cylinder. The front side of #2 has the same problem, but is rarely the hot cylinder as that one gets the first chance at incoming air. Gary Casey C177RG, Lancair ES project
