A simulated dogfight training took place between two Israeli F-15D's and four A-4N Skyhawks over the skies of the Negev, Israel. The F-15D #957, (nicknamed 'Markia Shchakim', 5 killmarks) was used for the conversion of a new pilot in the squadron. Here is the description of the event as...
I cut 2 slots with diegrinder and burr. Two 1/2"-1/4" towers support the threaded section. Those towers can line up with steel part in gage so you can get 90% red light to 90% white with a 90* turn of cap. I'll update post w/pic.JimK
After upgrading the LD with a D turbo I found the high EGT at lowest rpm. The 9??AM post (below) expressed the findings/reag then, and some adjustments.

Air filter restriction can reduce airflow into the chamber/exhaust. Excess air is basically inert and can be thought of as a coolant. Some [diesel] engines may depend on it for safe EGT /chamber temp. Like those running max egt...

A career welder, or proficient hobby welder, can teach stuff they can't/don't/won't in school. Unfortunately many won't have time to teach it. They may be able to offer a small bit of hands on (which is what you seem to be after). MIG can be very easy to master and you can get the hang of the...

I'd recommend getting a pyrometer and/or boost gage even if its just temp, to check the fuel setting/EGT.It is nice to know all is well. I added a used 'D" to a non-turbo LD. With a stack muffler a light whistle can be heard as it spools up. It easily pegged the 15psi gage, and had high EGT so...
