Took off today with everything looking fine ... All numbers in the green. Got to about 2500' climbing for 3500' when I got an engine alarm .... "EGT spread too wide". looked at the EGTs quickly and saw that all were 1100 to 1200 except #3 which showed 1470 and still climbing. Yikes ... Never had an EGT go wacky like that. I called for landing and soon after pulling the power back, all EGTs were around 1150. I landed with everything looking oK.... Taxied to the penalty box and did another runup .... Everything normal. Mag/plug check was fine. Took off again and had no problem whatsoever. Flew for 1.9 doing flight testing stuff. No issues. Anyone have an idea ? (BTW, 32.4 hr Hobbs when I took off the first time. )
