Re: KR> cockpit vacuum gauge
I have a manifold pressure gauge in my KR. It's nice for fine tuning throttle settings and calculating percent power, but it's only there as a personal preference and is completely unnecessary without a constant speed prop. Can't say that I would be able to diagnose valve issues or engine health with it. I find EGTs and a static compression differential test to be a much better indicator of what's going on with the engine. 1 EGT running 50 - 100° higher than normal is an indication that a spark plug is not firing. All EGTs running 50-100° higher than normal is an indication that a mag may have failed. Just pulling the engine through as part of your preflight should indicate if you have a valve or cylinder issue as you'll feel the soft cylinder and will hear it leaking. I've seen a lot of different failures in aircraft engines, but short of launching a cylinder off the case, I don't think the manifold pressure gauge [vacuum gauge] is going to tell you much other than your throttle setting for a given altitude. -Jeff Scott Los Alamos, NM -- Subject: KR> cockpit vacuum gauge Anyone running a vacuum gauge in their panel.

Re: KR> dual plugs
Bob, Yes, that is the original Revmaster design. My Revmaster engine and heads came that way. They work, but you must remove the valve cover before you can access the plugs. When I replaced my heads, I replaced them with the Great Plains version - much better.

I don't see how plugs can be used there unless the tubes are supposed to be extended up through the the valve cover. The holes are opposite the original plug holes.
