Check with Fletchair. They may have a serviceable replacement tube for you of Ken Blackman – he has a number of used parts. My 91 Tiger will occasionally have a very light smear of oil on the belly to the tail cone from the vent. No idea why. My A&P/AI who also is a mechanical engineer says it’s not unusual. I have brand new cylinders (about 50 hrs) so I know it not rings or valves.

I have a 91 Tiger, about 300 hrs TT and about 170 hrs in a Tiger. No IR or claims. My premium did not go up for 2018 and in fact went down slightly for the same hull value. Check with Norm Hibbler at Aircraft and Marine for another quote.

Curt,

You can install the EI CGR 30P in your Tiger. Mine was installed in my 91 AG5B in March of this year, and so far I really like it. It has replaced all of my primary engine instruments and I like having MP and RPM displayed at the same time along with cylinder and EGT temps. AA5’s are listed under True Flight Holdings, LLC which holds the rights to most Grumman, American General and other versions of the AA5’s.

As far as I know, JPI’s systems (730’s or 830’s) cannot replace the primary engine instruments at this time. I believe the JPI 900 (930?) is certified but it’s way expensive. But be aware, the battle between JPI and EI fans is intense and no matter which system you choose, someone some where is sure to tell you that you made a bad choice.
