Or do you use it as an engine protection measure?

Hi Peter,
I guess for protection. It can be an input for more fuel, less Ignition timing or put the engine into a limp mode. Multiple strategies' can be used here.
This engine uses Oil pressure, Oil temp, Crank case pressure, Fuel pressure and fuel temp sensors along with IAT and the two cyl temps and knock sensors. Lots of info that can be used in running the engine or to collect data only.
The one cylinder head missing is having the pressure sensor fitted for dyno purposes. From our testing to date cylinder 5 seems to be the lowest always. Not sure why yet, so we are looking to see why.
It was my idea to do this so I can understand these earlier engines and their habits. This way we can learn and use this info for developing future products.
