Since you are measuring the heat output, anything and
every thing that effects engine power will effect the temperature. Probe
location, cylinder cooling, ambient air temp, altitude, throttle setting, turbo
boost if you have it, engine condition, timing, spark plug condition, air
humidity, mag condition, impulse spring condition, exhaust system condition,
gasoline. airfilter condition, and I'll bet there are some I have missed.
Between cylinders the probe location, valve condition, baffling(cooling), and
injectors can and do change the indicated temps for each
cylinder.>
Guess I'm confused about your
'relative' reference as well. All the conditions you describe affect the
output temp of the cylinder exhaust, but that doesn't mean that the
actual recorded/reported temperature isn't the real temperature that
must be considered when operating the engine within the temperature tolerance of
the components. Or am I missing something?
