Brian,
When the engine is cold, all my temp
sensors read within a couple of degrees of one another. They all read the
ambient temp and are probably within 3 degrees. That is two OAT sensors,
two oil temp sensors, water temp, two aux air temps, etc.
My EGTs seem high as well, but the highest
I have seen is 1775. They usually run around 1700. I think 1600 or
so is the lowest I have seen. Never in the 15s. I am going to try
Bobby’s suggestion and crank the rpm back to 1700 on the prop and see
what that does for it.

Subject: [FlyRotary] High EGTs
My engine is now running just the way it
should, temps were 180 or lower on a 75 degree day, but my EGTs have always
been high, really high- above 1800 almost all the time. I think it may be a
calibration issue. My egt sensors are about 3 inches downstream of the exhaust
ports, and I am using Tracy's
EM2, calibrated at the stock settings. When the engine is stone cold, the egt's
read about 230 degrees, which I assume is normal because the sensors are meant
to operate at a much higher temperature. Any thoughts?
