After modifying the baffling many times with little success I examined the hole for the temperature probe and noticed it was formed by the casting and not machined as were other cylinders manufactured by Lycoming. In fact it extended almost a quarter inch further in the cylinder than the standard Lycoming probe hole and the other three ECI cylinders. I then decided to connect ring thermocouples to both the upper and lower plugs (VM 800 allowed these to be connected to cyls 5 & 6 on the CPU). Lycon informed me that a ring thermocouple would read about 50 degrees F low on the upper plug and about 50 degrees high on the lower plug. The difference between the two rings was 110 degrees in my case and the average was 50 degrees below the probe reading on that cylinder. Rusty, Arrrrgggghhh! I was happy at 400F, now I may be too cold........ Anyway, thanks for the very interesting info. I will check it out.
