Only one O2 sensor is required

[Bob Dunahugh]

Remember. The left side of the carb or TB. Feed cylinder's 2, and 8 on the right-side, and cylinders 1, and 7 on the left. The right side of the carb or TB. Feed cylinders 4, and 6 on the right side, and 3,and 5 on the left side. Thus. Only one O2 sensor is required.
Sorry. See what happens if I get started on engines, or Royales. GRIN.

So Bob,
the O2 reads one side, assuming the injectors on the other side is
functioning correctly..
What if it is not??

Then, the possibility exists that "bad stuff" might happen.
The ideal setup would be egt sensors in each and every exhaust port
connected to a computer that will record actual exhaust gas temperatures,
and do something like shut the engine down if a dangerous condition occurs.
It would have to be quicker than human reaction times to be effective.
By the time humans notice something wrong and take action, damage is
already occurring. When "sh## happens" it is on the timeline of
nanoseconds and seconds, not minutes.

Due to the crossover design of the intake manifold each injector feeds 2 cylinders on the left side and 2 cylinders on the right side. So the mixture reading by a sensor on the left side would be the same as the reading by a sensor on the right side. So, only one sensor would be needed as readings on both sides would be the same.

I have an EGT probe in the exhaust of each cylinder in my airplane so I can see and adjust the mixture under various conditions. The interesting
thing is the leanest cylinder varies depending on power demand. Cylinder 3 is always the leanest under a full power climb. While at 70 tO 75% power
cruise, cylinder 2 and 4 vary at being the leanest / hottest cylinder.

This gives more information that we really need.
