Remember a 180 only reverses direction it could take a lot more to get
lined up with the runway, otherwise pick a good spot that can be easily
reached. I have done this at altitude and would not try it with at
least 600 feet.

| Subject: | 914 EGT probe adaptors |
Has any one had this problem ?
I am having a problem with the brass fitting, that attaches the EGT
probe to the exhaust pipes. I have had 4 fittings fail. And when they
fail, the probe gets loose and I get error readings on the EIS. I have
contacted EIS and told them of the problem and they say they have not
heard of the problem. I asked them to contact their supplier of the
fitting to see if he can make one out of stainless steel. They are
researching.
The fitting is 1/8th pipe thread compression on 1 side, and 8mm on the
other side (the side that threads into the exhaust pipe). The 8mm side
bends and the threads strip out....almost vanish. I think it might be a
combination of heat on the brass along with vibration. I believe the
exhaust pipe itself is stainless ....isn't it? So it seems to make
sense to use a stainless fitting.

Hi,
I had a problem once with an EGT probe failing in an IO-540. The probe kept
breaking off inside the exhaust pipe. Finally, it struck me that the probe
was getting sheared off from the expansion/contraction of the inner and
outer exhaust pipes (the probe happened to be installed where there was
tight fitting joint). The probe happened to pass through the exhaust
pipe right at a location where the exhaust pipe had an expansion joint. I
simply took apart the exhaust pipe, drilled the hole bigger in the
*inner*exhaust pipe only, reinstalled the exhaust pipe, installed a
new EGT probe,
and walla never had the problem again.
Not sure from your description if this is your problem.
