 |
|
Ok guys, nobody seems to know the answer to this...at least nobody I have asked yet. That is why I am asking it here which is probably where I should have started.
I have the Grand Rapids EIS and have the 4 EGT probes installed (threaded type no the band-clamp type for 912/914). The problem is they keep loosening up. I have them safety wired in so they will not come out completely but I would like to secure them so the don't loosen. I assume the loosening is partially due to vibration and heat expansion of the pipes/probes during running.
I have thought about threadlocker (I have found one that will hold up to 2200 degrees F but it is $$$$ for a tiny bottle). GRT doesn't have a specific torque setting they know that will prevent loosening. What have you guys done? Or does anyone have any ideas?

I would just keep them safety wired. Some day they will need replacing
and you know what that means.

Try AC 43.13-1b pp. 7-24.
You may have to drill a hole through two adjacent flats on the nut to put
the wire through.
