Andy told me (around February, as I recall) that he was in Brazil,
and still with Jabiru, but in a different capacity than operating his
own dealership.

| Subject: | CHT probe placement |
When I recently rebuilt my Jabiru 2200 engine, I decided it was time
to make the CHT probe move to a better location, and avoid the
dreaded spark plug gasket removal and replacement problem. I didn't
like the idea of putting the probe under a head bolt as some have
done, fearing the idea of putting 24 lbs of torque on a copper
terminal, so I followed another poster's idea and drilled and tapped
a hole in the head between, and slightly below, the spark plug
locations. Now I find that the temperature readings are quite a bit
above the reported 10 degrees or so difference (from the spark plug
locations) that I have read about for the head bolt locations. I have
looked into this and have decided that the spark plug probes (mine
anyway) position the thermocouple wire attachment point...the point
where the actual reading is made, the "business end" if you will,
(and it is NOT the area that actually touches the head)...one-half
inch above the head surface, and well into the airflow that goes past
this area. This spark plug thermocouple is further insulated by
having it *above* the spark plug gasket, making it even further from
the cylinder head, albeit by a very small amount. I believe this 1/2"
of separation from the head is enough to place the "business end" of
the t'couple in the relatively cool air passing by. I used to see
CHT's of an average of about 275 F, while I now see my CHT's read
about 350-360 F, and up to about 385 F in climb, at 1500' MSL, @
80 F ambient. Straight and level flight after a 5 minute settling
down period after climbout will see the 350's I mentioned. My
thermocouple attachment point...the business end...is now closer to
the head, and tucked between the head and a fin instead of sticking
up into the airflow, so I can accept the higher readings, especially
when the engine is running so strong now and climbing better than I
recall it doing before the engine breakdown. I might add that each
flight sees lower CHT's as the engine breaks in.
Any comments?
