--> TeamGrumman-List message posted by: TeamGrumman@aol.com
I downloaded the cylinder head temps from my JPI 800. Ealier flights with
the stock cowling show as little as "0" degrees difference between all of the
cylinder head temps. The biggest spread was 20 degrees. keep in mind that
I've spent the last 5 years trial-and-error trimming on baffles to get the best
temps.
With the new cowling, CHTs on 1 and 3 are about the same as with the stock
cowling. However, #2 runs hotter by as much as 10 degrees and #4 runs colder
by as much as 10 degrees. These temps seem to be consistent. I am using the
same spacing on the baffle straps that wrap around the bottom of the cylinder
with the new baffles as I used on the stock baffles. So, I can only
conclude that the shape of the inlet on the left side and the small changes to
the
front #2 baffle have contributed to the CHT differences that I'm seeing.
I really appreciate how sensitive the baffles are to good cooling.
This puzzle still needs to be solved.

Gary, I've had similar indications, I did find that by using an exhaust
fairing that brought down the # 2 cylinder cht about 15-20 deg. but left # 4
unchanged. I can not explain why but it did on my Tiger. # 4 is still my
high one running about 20 deg.hotter than 1,3,4. I also have been trying
various things with the baffles and exit ramps.
By the way we just installed a set of your exit ramps on a Cheetah and am
looking forward to see how they work.

try trimming back the metal baffle strap that wraps around the bottom of the
hottest cylinder about 1 inch.
