Work day 1

Roger is cold.

The T is getting massive spark plugs, timing checked and adjusted, brake reservoir serviced, battery 1 secured, inspected for a SB on the AOS cracking the amount on the side of the oil cooler (it is....) and there is a nice divot in the right mag where the UDP air filter clamp is hitting.....sigh...

yesterday, approximately 3 minutes after departing, and still climbing out, i had what I percieved to be approx 1/3 second of a rough engine, as if one of the cylinders didnt fire properly. (it went away as soon as it occured) It has never happened before, and I have about 700 hours on the plane. I downloaded the engine data, and used the engine log analyzer web site to look at rpms, temps, etc, and compared the data over the past year....I noticed that the charts show a rather consistant 10 rpm variation while in cruise. It looks as if my engine has always shown that characteristic, and I wonder if that is normal. I have some other characteristics that may be related: my oat temp on mfd shows 61 F and the pfd shows 10 C, thats a 50 F difference. My psuedo analog tachometer twitches occasionally about 100 rpm back and forth, and the left gas tank needle sometimes stays in the "full" position. To me, it seems possible that a controller, or a sensor might be bad.....not sure if these can even be related.

I regularly get a cht spike ONLY on #5 and usually right after starting the engine. All other cht's indicate normal temp. I watch #5 climb and often spike into the red. It settles down in a minute or two. I really don't believe the reading because the temp is off to the races and moves up so quickly after engine start. I've had the spike in flight twice and it settled down in under a minute. Injector have been checked. Any idea's for me? Please email me at mbonnell1962@yahoo.com with recommendations.
