It read the same on the meter and the Advanced Fight EFIS within 10 degrees. Thanks for the suggestion.

I would make sure that a bench test confirms their accuracy before going to the next step.

I am about to try insulating the oil lines. I tried necking down the outlet air under the cowl . It started as about 110 percent of the inlet area size and is now 92 percent . The preliminary result is slightly cooler CHTs and EGTs and it goes 7 kts faster. More testing is required when the weather breaks. The goal of warming the oil more did not happen. Any suggestions?
