Guys,
It seems Friday-night is getting to the "detonation" point ... and your "engines" get overheated ... [sm=punching.gif]
Maybe it is better go dancing in Friday night, please the girls and not take much "heavy" fuel...[sm=spinnyeyes.gif]
because the morning will be more painful ... Anyway Ethanol is not so bad for the health and
in good proportions cools the "engine" down ... I think ... you migth agree...[sm=thumbup.gif]
Proportions(!) are the essense of life ...

Back to topic please: There were in mid 60's (obviously I am getting older...) some Glow Plugs made
in the former East Germany which on the top were filied with transparent insulator so one can see the
COLOR, i.e. the temperature can be measured by some kind of pirometer. That time many were
runnig also with open exhaust so one can see how much "orange or red or yelow" the plug is...

So QUESTION: - How nowadays one measures the TEMPERATURE OF THE PLUG ? - please give some
Technical Details. Anyone have seen those Glow-plugs arround? - I have one somewhere in my storage
and if I find it I will light it for you and make a photo, but I would like to buy some more of those if
they are made somewhere; please advice.

After burning maybe some N x 10 plugs of different kind I use only F type and adjust the
rest to the plug, i.e. "manipulate" 1)The Fuel and 2)The Compression ratio(the shim).
And seems the Glow engines have pretty "flath" optimum of the set-up so they can take
a lot of unsuitable mix of "things" but seems the professionals make it always better
than the others... I wander How Many Super-Electronically Enhanced Engines OS managed
to sale; any idea ?

Thanks,
Nick
