    Spokane to Carson City for a visit with the parents/grandparents. 15,000’ most of the way at 175ktas and 10.4gph. Awesome airplanes! IFR and had to stay low for icing across Washington, but Real pretty descending across Reno near Pyramid Lake and Blackrock “airport”.

    The temp probe is on the outlet of the oil cooler. The flow of oil over it is already gone through the cooler or bypassed it. If you want the hottest oil, youd have to measure it in the turbo or the main bearings etc but the probe definitely isn’t measuring the hottest oil. Savvy has a pretty good number of tsio-360 engines with data and they publish their average values. Ill see if i can find the diagram for you - their “green” zone is 160-180.

    Actually his oil temp is pretty standard for a K. I agree with you that around 180 is a good temp for the oil, but the primary oil temp sensor location on the tsio-360 is immediately after the oil cooler. In fact, it’s basically attached to the cooler. You kind of have to assume that the oil is much warmer (and thus above 180) elsewhere in the engine. However, his reading is pretty close to the average for this engine type.

    Wow, i like the way your g3x is setup. Mine has the engine instrumentation on the left side. Id prefer like yours so it is consistent when you bring up the split screen engine page, they will be on the same side as they were before. Also, yours has more information on it, but I see you don’t have all 6CHT‘s or EGT‘s or ff which mine does. I didn’t realize that could be customized. Also, do you know what fuel flow you were running there?

    Snow? Fog? it was either 0/0 weather or the picture didn’t load.
  6. Ragsf15e
    Jeez, maybe underinsured? It had a full Dynon panel and 100smoh?!

    Well now, hold on. Which engine do you have exactly? The TCM parts manual for my TSIO-360SB shows the original (spot welded) part as 653337 and it also states that the part is superseded by part 670105 (riveted). This aligns exactly with the AD. These parts (670105) are shipping from various suppliers. I got one last week. Do you have a different engine variant that uses a different part number? Heres a shot from the tcm online parts catalog:

    Did you (or your mechanic) take it apart and see what’s wrong? They are dead simple to maintain, especially with new o rings available. I don’t think I’d give up on one too easily.
  9. Ragsf15e
    Looks awesome! can you describe exactly what you did to the plastics? They look great and im considering doing mine.

    That’s the list of revisions, for better context on exactly what they changed and how, post the updated page 3. That’s where the real info is.

    Only a half hour?

    No worries. Our search function isn’t great. I use google with “mooneyspace” at the end. Heres the thread from a few weeks ago with lots more advice.
  13. Ragsf15e
    I’ve used Command Aviation at Bellingham and like them. Crown at PAE is good too but busy. We had a thread about this very location a couple weeks ago, see if you can search it out on google. Advanced down in TTD is very good and not that far.

    Strangely, my gtx345 was using a G5 as the encoder and (after several conversations), garmin admitted there is an issue with that setup that can cause intermittent mode c loss. They even offered to send me a gae-12 encoder. Now I doubt the same issue exists with the g500txi, but I guess my thought is that it might not necessarily be an issue with the transponder itself. Maybe a wiring issue from the g500? It will need reasonable troubleshooting.
  15. Ragsf15e
    The reason I ask about your encoding source is that they said your mode C was intermittent. The mode C is the altitude reporting portion of your transponder signal. The transponder gets its altitude from the encoder which is a separate device.
  16. Ragsf15e
    Yes, but what’s its altitude source? I don’t think a gtn can be the altitude source? There will be some type of encoder hooked up to static air that provides it. Could be anything from an old school grey code box or a fancy little garmin one on the back of your unit. It’s where the transponder gets the pressure altitude. Strangely, the transponder needs a different box to do this for it. The transponder itself just takes care of sending out the different mode c signals, adsb, etc.
  17. Ragsf15e
    What is it using as an altitude encoder? I had this happen with a gtx-345 and it was actually the encoder.
  18. Ragsf15e
    There is supposed to be a “sacrificial block” where it goes through there, so yes, they put that in with the new one. That damage is actually pretty common. The newer models have some kind of a wrap on the tube and the “lining” in the hole.

    I had to get one from Mooney a few years ago. Call top gun msc and see about ordering one.

    The thing with the check valves is that they are probably original. They aren’t required to replace and they are expensive, so they are usually just left there until they don’t work.

    We have a thread on this with details from ~fall of 2024 if I remember correctly.
  24. Ragsf15e
    Funny, I have a pair of Bose X that don’t work in my new plane for unknown reasons as well z. All the other ones work fine and that headset works elsewhere…
  25. Ragsf15e
    Id especially check whether those fittings are correct as @N201MKTurbo suggests. Also +1 on check valve cleaning.
