Hi Dennis,
I've got an IO-390 with a front-mounted prop governor, but the seal layout is about
the same. Attached are some pictures of how I did mine. I had no problems
with CHT or EGTs.

| Subject: | FW: Bill's polar flight - not RV related |
A neighbor at Dogwood (VA42) took off this morning to circumnavigate the
globe, via the poles. Bill broke the distance record a couple of weeks ago,
flying non-stop from Guam to Jacksonville Florida. His modified Lancair 4
holds 360 gallons of fuel, and the inherently efficient design allows him to
cruise at 180 knots averaging less than 9gph fuel burn.
Use the below link to follow his flight. He is up linking a data point
every four minutes. His first refuel is southern Brazil, then the southern
tip of Argentina, from there over the South Pole to New Zealand, then
Hawaii, Fairbanks, then over the North Pole back to Bangor Maine.

Subject: Bill's polar flight
Good morning,
In case you're interested in following Bill's attempt to fly around both
poles,
here's the web link:
<https://go.spidertracks.com/fleetpro/public/zqpilot>
https://go.spidertracks.com/fleetpro/public/zqpilot
There are 4 small icons at the top left, the airplane icon puts a panel at
the left that shows what ZQ is doing.
Use the plus to zoom in or the minus to zoom out. You use the pile of papers
icon to determine the view. Try hybrid view.
If you click the X, it will take you to a screen where you select Tracks and
then click on the top latest date.
Once he's flying this will get you Bill's track as it is reported by
Spidertracks. (it also shows him taxiing while on the ground)
You must click on the last little teardrop to get his latest position info
in a box on the screen.
As he gets closer to some interesting landmarks you can zoom in.
Let's all keep our fingers crossed for a safe journey,
Sue
