 Posted: Wed Dec 10, 2014 9:08 pm Post subject: Manifold pressure with G3X |
 |
|
Getting ready to hang the engine and trying to do as much as possible on the back end first. My question relates to the Vans recommendation that the manifold pressure line be connected to the port on cylinder #5. I have a used, overhauled engine with the MP port on #6. The plug on #5 doesn't want to come out, at least without extraordinary measures. So...is there a problem using #6 for the MP line with the Garmin engine sensor system? If so, any suggestions about getting the plug out of #5?

You can use the portion any cylinder. The port on #5 is just closer to the firewall.

As Jesse says, it doesn't matter between cylinders. You could just as easily use #3. The only difference is in the length of tubing to plumb to where ever you mount the sensor. The FF plans just show mounting MP sensor on the right side of the firewall, but there is nothing set in stone about where you put it. I've seen #1 used for MP on a 4 cyl Lyc for a type certificated aircraft.

Regarding plug removal, what tool are you using? If memory serves me correctly it usually is just a 3/16 hex on those ports. Are you using a 3/8 drive socket with 3/16 hex in socket? And penetrating lube of choice?
Need to know what you've done/tried for suggestions - as well as mayb a pic of issue. Otherwise as others said don't ruin a cyl, just go for another port.....

Good choice for penetrating lube; 50% ATF (automatic trans fluid) and 50% acetone.
I hope that helps,
