I understand the desired 2 1/2" total distance from the manifold to the EGT Probe. The verbiage gets confusing when discussing "forward" or "rear" because I get confused about whether we're talking about the overall direction the probe is going FROM the exhaust, or the direction the internal end of the probe is pointing. It just seems obvious that these probes should be installed AWAY from the sparkplugs and wires to make future maintenance easier. So, on cylinders 1 & 3 (Starboard) the EGT probes will be installed on the forward surface of the pipes so the wiring extends forward from the exhaust pipe and away from the spark plugs. Opposite on 2 & 4, Port. Or, am I wrong about this?
