Something to be aware of here... it was the "Coke bottle test" that got
George into all the GAMIjectors to begin with. He didn't like the way the engine ran. So, although of questionable legality, played with the "Coke bottle test" until he got all the injectors to put out the same amount of fuel. ... And the engine ran WORSE. He figured he'd spend the rest of the day figuring out why... and a couple of years later, he had! G What you want is the fuel/air mixture to be the same for ALL cylinders. Ideally this would equate to the same amount of fuel in each, but in the real world it does not. When set up right, since all cylinders have the same FA mix, they will all peak at the same time. Differences in probe positions, and differences in cooling air flow, will generate different measured EGT's (as well as condition of plugs, mags, etc.). With standard injectors just rotating them should be okay (and legal) -- all you are doing is using the really terrible QC from the manufacturer to your benefit. Traditionally the Coke bottle test involves also ordering sets of different orfice dimensions form the mfr. and adding them into the mix. This messes up the measured fuel flow readings and required recalibration of the fuel metering system. [Hence the reason the FAA frowns on it.] Frankly, 110 max difference in EGT isn't meaningful. As someone else suggested, look at the spread in FF vs. peak temp for each cylinder. THAT will tell you if you have a problem or not. |
