[Fot] EGT readings

[rdavis4 at cfl.rr.com]

One of the dependencies to consider is the placement of the probe. If it is to close to the combustion fire then it will read higher than you think it should. You will have to conider ather factors in determining if 1400 is right or wrong, ie, spark plugs, holes burned in your pistons. I always considered 1200-1300 fairly normal. But again, probe placement is key.
