I have a XP360 engine that startedits life as a Mattituck assembled engine with an Aerosance Fadec.
To make a long story short, I decided to convert this engine to a conventional Mags/Carb system, so I removed and sold all the FADEC items and installed 2 slick mags and a MA-4-5 Carb.
Now,while I was installing the Garmin engine sensors package, I noticed that the there seems to be an adapter attached to the CHT probe location (see attached pictures).
Looking at my FADEC pictures, I have noticed that the CHT probe that came with the system had a bayonet turn and lock type attachment and it was not threaded directly to the engine.
I imagine that this adapter is just something threaded to the cylinder head, but I'd like to confirm if someone has ever seen this type of adapter attached to the head and if there is any special procedure to remove it.
Thank you,
Fabricio
