This chart lists typical EDM indications for most G.A. engines.
Parameter Normal range Comments
EGT at Takeoff

EGT is approximately
200°F lower than
cruise when full
throttle applied.

* Maintain a cooling rate of less than -60°/minute. You will find that the cylinder with
the greatest shock cooling will shift from front cylinders (during climb out) to the rear
cylinders (during descent).
NOTE: If one CHT is reading 20° to 50° above or below the others, this
may be due to that cylinder having a spark plug gasket probe instead of a
bayonet probe. This is necessary because the aircraft’s factory original
CHT probe is occupying the socket in the cylinder head rather than the
EDM. This is normal. If the discrepancy is greater, be sure the spark
plug gasket probe is mounted on the top spark plug. An adapter probe is
available to occupy the same socket as the factory original probe.
