Quit with the negative waves, man.
An engine monitor is a good move. The full Monty certified primary might be killing an ant with a sledgehammer, but hey, it's only money.
But it's disappointing not to get this ciphered out.
I love a good "whatdunnit".

Touchdown! Greaser!
Personally, I would not install an engine monitor that wasn't a primary replacement. You can get rid of so much heavy, inaccurate garbage for just a little bit more money.
I agree with not throwing money at a problem, but I also think an engine monitor is a good investment even if he didn't have the problem.

Sometimes it is wise to punt. There is a problem. It needs to be fixed. Having a professional avionics installer do the work is a good move. This should fix it.
IMO if your gonna buy one, buy it from the installer.
Don't bring me your oil and filter if you want me to do a oil change. Or bring your steak to my restaurant for me to cook for you.
Shop for one while at Oshkosh but buy it from the installer.

That all looks very nice, great job and engine installation.
