Cabanaboy Posted November 15, 2017 Report Posted November 15, 2017 Does anyone know what wire this is going into cylinder? M20J Lycoming IO360-A3B6D Is it Cylinder head CHT? or engine preheater wire?
Jim F Posted November 15, 2017 Report Posted November 15, 2017 It looks like Engine preheater. Follow the wires and it should lead to a 110volt plug 1
Cabanaboy Posted November 15, 2017 Author Report Posted November 15, 2017 thats what i thought it lead to, is zip tied other wires of engine preheater but guy doing annual is not sure. I have a Tanis system
kortopates Posted November 15, 2017 Report Posted November 15, 2017 You need a new Tanis CHT heater element since the leads have broken off. I can see the Tanis power harness bundled in the lower right of picture #2. You can order one from Tanis. Email the above pictures to Tanis if your A&P is unfamiliar or you just want to be sure asap so you can get a replacement ordered soonest. You could also have your A&P pull it out and snap a third pic of the heater element too. 1

An avionics tech should have the required crimp tool but not likely a A&P that hasn't been using Deutch connectors yet - although they are getting popular with avionics installers for good reason.
Guest Posted November 15, 2017 Report Posted November 15, 2017 There is little value in replacing with a TAS 100, if you plan on installing an engine monitor system you’ll need that hole for a CHT probe. Clarence

Clarence I prefer the Tanis dual probe and heater element. Both work best in the cylinder well. I guess if someone was doing that soon they could install the dual probe heater element now.
