It has demonstrated that the cloth and the probe are not compatible and can cause EGT temps to flux as much as 125F and usually to the high side. The oil tank will not effect the EGT probe. The probe is inside the exhaust pipe at temps around 1300F-1500F. The oil temp of 215F won't have any effect and the probe would have to be in the oil itself.
An EGT spread of 80F can be very normal for some engines. It depends on several factors. Carb sync, probe placement, internal carb wear, air filter, ect...
An EGT temp with only a 15F spread is considered the same. EGT temps differ with throttle settings and will move up and down and closer or farther apart depending on the throttle settings.
Bottom line don't worry about an 80F spread unless you know you did something that effected the burn and can correct it.

I didn't wrap the probe itself or the exhaust pipes....just a portion of the spring and wire coming out of the probe in close proximity to the tank and it was only a few inches. Wrapping pipes is generally not a good idea so I have heard.
My carbs are super synced, my air filters super cleaned, my floats are new (er).
As for the tank not causing the higher EGTR...do all 912 installations on other LSAs run ~80 degrees hotter on that R side?
