    I also agree, years ago during the big carburetor phase of automobiles I had a job rebuilding. Now as an AP I send out my much simpler aircraft carburetor.

    I let the professional cab shops do the aircraft carbs since they flow the carb on a test bench after working on them. Automotive carbs I have no qualms about tearing into. I assume from reading the service bulletin you can do it if you have CC11-160 Aircraft Maintenance Manual. The SB says after completion of the installation to make a logbook entry. A repair station did mine and sent me the 8310-3 maintenance release and made a look book entry siting the 8310-3 work order.

    I lost all my download data after the nozzel change. Typically I see cylinders 1,2, and 3 about 1 to 2 degrees apart and #4 10 to 20 degrees lower depending on power setting. Go Figure. I've checked everything on #4 and can only attribute it to the new cylinders I put installed in January 2018. Prior to that #4 had the highest EGT.

    Prior to the nozzel change the bars never lined up. Typically the CHT's's had a 50 degree spread low to high and the EGT's had a 130 plus or minus spread. All of this is 75% power setting leaned.
    Power settings and leaning make a big difference in the temperature and spreads.

    Flew today to get some Ten-a-see BBQ. Leaned at 3000’, 2525 rpm (75% power) my EGT spread was 47 degrees and my CHT spread was 6 degrees. At lower power setting the spreads are little larger. Prior to the nozzle change I saw spreads likes these only above 7500’ and full throttle: the throttle was not partially blocking the throat disrupting the fuel/air distribution. Bottom line the new nozzle with all the holes in it provides better mixture distribution.
