The frame is built and shafts for the retarder are being made, belt drive is ordered. PLC is here so its all coming together.

A question for all you old hands out there. What will exhaust gase temp on each cyclinder tell you & how can you tell which cyclinder is developing the most power,,,, is it the hottest exhaust?

EGT's don't necc tell you which cylinder is making the most power... EGT's can change based on ignition timing, cam timing, and fuel quantity.
