(Matt Dralle) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 04:25:08 AM PST US From: Bobby Hester Subject: Re: RV-List: Cylinder head temps Here is a dicussion on that subject that is ging on over at VAF: http://www.vansairforce.com/community/showthread.php?t=29981 I see about the same thing and also have a Superior XP-0360 I installed the lower louvers and they did not seem to help much. I don't use hardly any oil. I have found that the engine oil level likes to stay about 6.5 on the dip stick. If there is more it seems to go away until it gets to 6.5 and then it stays there for a long time. When I see the CHT's going over 410 I usually level off and pull the throttle back until it comes back down then continue my climb. ---- Surfing the web from Hopkinsville, KY Visit my flying RV7A web page: http://home.newwavecomm.net/bobbyhester/MyFlyingRV7A.htm Chuck & Deanna Schieffer wrote: > Hi guys, > I have about 33 hours flown off of my 40 hours on my RV-7A at CMA.
