My exhuast gas temperature meter along with 2 thermocouples came in this weekend. The thermocouples are nice stainless units with 1/4 inch pipe thread that screw into bungs welded into the header tubes.
I have 2 probes and the meter reads and hold both displays.
I intend to try this unit and if I like it buy another one.
I will pull the passenger header tomorrow and weld in 4 bungs. One in each tube as close to the header flange as convenient.
I will plug 2 of the bungs with dry seals and run 2 thermocouples. After I get a pattern of those you cylinders I will move the thermocouples to the other 2 c:thud: ylinders and compare the running temperatures.
If I like the unit I will buy a second one and do the same to the drivers side.
In that case I would monitor 4 cylinders at all times with the ability to move the thermocouples to the other 4 cylinders at random.
I am looking for temperatures in the 1320-1350 range with 1420-1450 being dangerous.
A motor that detonates has sharp temperature spikes as high as 1600F.
It will be another interesting tuning tool.
Along with the LM-1 wide band oxygen sensor I should be able to dial this thing in
