Brief Description:  Engine Sensor Installation

Proceeded with installation of the various engine sensors, these will be connected to the Garmin GEA-25 behind the instrument panel, and display on the G3X touch.

• Identified and installed the four cylinder head temperature probes with anti-cease applied and torqued to 35" lbs.
• Identified the four Alcor cylinder head temperature probes.
• Identified on each exhaust pipe, a mark 2 inches below the cylinder exhaust port mount.
• Each mark accounts for other interesting things that must be avoided (spark plugs, wires, etc.)
• Using #40 bit, drilled the first hole in the left rear exhaust pipe as this seem to be the easiest due to no clearance issues.
• Final drilled to #30, then used the supplied probe attached clamp to mark where to cut the clamp to shorten to the needed length.
• Used the Dremel to cut the clamp to the needed length, deburred the cut with scotch brite wheel.
• Attached the EGT probe to the exhaust pipe and tighten as required.

Repeated for the left forward cylinder.
