I had to clear a 12,000' ridge 20 miles from the airport (which was at 5,300'), so I was working it hard. Anyway, about five minutes into the climb, I looked over and saw ithe temp gauge pegged. I pulled the power back to idle and turned around to glide back down to the airport, and saw that the gauge had dropped to near the bottom Playing with the power showed that the temp indication increased immediately with RPM just as if it was a tach (or a pressure gauge; see where this is going)? On the ground, I pulled the temp sensor (bulb-type) out of the oil screen housing, and found that the bulb had broken off the capillary tube. This left the capillary tube open to oil pressure, which would make the temp gauge act as a pressure gauge. Turned out to be a relatively cheap fix, compared to what I feared it could have been at first.
Was Headed to Detroit Yesterday Morning....
