Hi Steve:
I guess AOL doesn't allow the attachment to come through the way I get the
list (emailed as a text message from somewhere.) I tried the www.matronics link
and no joy there either. Apparently others are seeing your photo, but I'm not.
A 25 degree drop might be worth it... We're seeing a max of 450 sometimes on
climb out here in hot Phoenix. (Cruise climb of 120 to 130 KIAS on a slightly
tricked out O-320.) Fortunately, I have ECi's Titan cylinders with a new metal
alloy that has a red line of 550 degrees, but still, cooler is better.
For Craymondw, those are incredibly low CHT's, especially for a 200 HP
engine. Those are cruise numbers, correct?
We see 375 in cruise in our summer, and that's running LOP. They'll run in
the 325's in our "winter."
I have ramps too, have siliconed the engine, etc. etc. Could be the funky
augmenters I'm running don't evacuate as well as a stock Glasair cowl.

At first, I didn't believe the gauge and replaced it with another using a
bayonet probe. When I was reading the same low cylinder temperatures I placed my
probes in boiling water that I heated using a torch to confirm that I was
receiving the right temperatures and marked the 212 boiling point on the
gauges. I was fanatic about plugging as many air leaks I could find using black
silicone, even sealing pea sized holes. The lower cylinders baffles need to be
sealed against the engine block. Be sure to have flanges on the beginnings
of your ramps so air doesn't get behind the ramps and use baffle material to
seal that area. My aluminum baffles just miss the cowling and I made the
silicone material long enough so it bends over forming a tight right angle when
I
place my top cowling on. Where the silicone baffle material touches the
cowling I used silicone caulking and smoothed it out so that it would form a
better seal. An old timer that I know uses cut up truck tire tubes as seals. In
some areas he folds over the tube and installs rivets both ends together into
the aluminum baffling. When he places his cowling on the tubing balloons out
while pressing against the cowling forming an excellent seal. Hope these
suggestions help.

This is a heads up. When I returned from a trip and was about to land I
noticed a slight rapping coming from the exhaust. I thought it might have been
due to the high outside temps. The following Sunday I decided to take a spin
around the cabbage patch. The run up was fine. But when I came in for a
landing I noticed the rapping was louder. So I pulled the plane onto the ramp
and
did a mag check and heard a very loud rapping on each mag. I pulled off the
cowling and when I inspected the engine I found #4 cylinder exhaust stack had
a 340 degree crack at the flange.
My exhaust has over 1,000 hours and I think it needs to be replaced. Does
anyone know who supplies a reasonably priced exhaust system for a rear servo
200 HP Lyc on a 2S FT.

Everybody has a different cruise speed.... If everyone would just say what
their true airspeed was at wide open throttle and full prop speed at 5000
feet density altitude was there wouldn't be any more confusion...
Best... Steve

I have a constant speed prop. During the summer months at 8500 feet, full
manifold pressure, 2350 rpm @10.2 gals per hour my GPS shows an average 206 mph
ground speed. I have a GL2S FT using a 200 HP Lyc. I have tried different
settings and the above gives me my fastest cruise speed.
