If that is the case, then you are probably blocking air flow to the aft cylinders. Since your two CHT sensors are on the front cylinders (3 & 4) you should move them to 1 & 2 temporarily to check their temps. Once you get them all in fairly close to each other, then it doesn't much matter which ones you monitor thereafter.

I have been flying a bunch and tinkering with my IVO prop and after trying and trying I ended up putting the prop about two turn out from where it was when I purchased it. This slightly lowered my static RPM's and improved cruise slightly so...I'm happy... for now! Any how as you know I live in Ohio and the weather has been getting much cooler and my FS has only a little dinky windshield. I went out and purchased a sheet of Lexan from the local Lowe's and enlarged the wind screen by about a foot and it's working great...HOWEVER...I am still way exposed to the wind and I would like to build a "Full" enclosure. I was hoping somebody on here would have a set of plans they could email or send to me and since I am a lazy corporate pilot I would rather purchase one already built and fit it to my airplane. Either way I want to get my FS enclosed soon. Let me know what you guys can come up with I and my wife would really appreciate it! Thanks again everybody and fly safe!

From: "FIRESTARII" :D Map quest "Adams Mills" Ohio. The runway is located about 1 mile west of that town next to "Monroe Basin" and just south of state Rt. 16. I believe in previous post I misspoke and said st rt 36. That is incorrect it is actually off St. Rt. 16. I apologize although I grew up in Coshocton it has been many years since I have driven around there, sorry! Again it's "Graham field" marked PVT on the Cinci sectional!

When I bought the SS, all four cylinders had CHTs but no EGTs. Since all four were close to each other and way below the too hot zone, I swapped one of the CHT sensors for an EGT (#4, right front on pusher). I now plan to swap out the CHT sensor of #3 for a second EGT so I can have two of each. EGTs on front and CHTs on aft cylinders. The important thing is for you to know that all four CHTs are roughly the same and well in the green. Once you get your baffles and deflectors trimmed and positioned to achieve that, it is probably not all that important to monitor all of them simultaneously. At least that is the way I'm going to do mine.

All cylinders wired etc. My first installation of eis showed my hotest cylinder well in range, but 100 hotter than the other (377). Found a scored cylinder fast. Also i dont worry much about all the numbers most of the time. Just configure the alarm limits low ( just above normal indications) and wait for the red light. The light is tested every time i start up due to how the fuel probe works.
