Zenith 750 Cruzer, Installing EGT probes

July 27, 2025

Made an EGT probe mock-up to select the right sensor position.
A good position is easy to find for the two back exhaust pipes. For the two front pipes it is more difficult.
The Homebuilt Help video says the probes should not point to the engine parts. The probe manufacturer says the probes are not designed to be bent.
Asked the manufacturer.

The manufacturer said the probes could be bent in the part which is closer to the exhaust pipe. See the pictures for the details.
