EGT Gauge Explained - Exhaust Gas Temperature Monitoring for Engine Health #3651880 (License: Personal Use)

This analog Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) gauge features a dual-scale dial marked in both Fahrenheit and Celsius, with a prominent 25° calibration reference point and a yellow warning star near the upper limit. The needle currently indicates a high but non-critical EGT reading, suggesting lean combustion or aggressive tuning; the center zeroed adjustment screw allows fine calibration. Designed for aviation, diesel, or performance automotive applications, such gauges help avoid detonation and valve damage by monitoring real-time exhaust heat.

Used in performance tuning guides, aircraft maintenance manuals, diesel truck forums, and engine diagnostics pages. Matches user intent for understanding EGT readings, troubleshooting overheating, or calibrating aftermarket gauges.
