I need some feedback. Today was the second time that I have take n off and climbed out at 80 knots, and by the time I am at 1500 to 2000 feet I have a cylinder head temp of 500 degrees=C2-and a climb rate of 1400 to 1 500 feet/min. The outside air temp was 21 C on=C2- both days. This was with full throttle and full rich. I was just beginnin g to start a cruise climb both times when I noticed it. I was looking for it tod ay, but I got cutoff in the downwind turn by two planes coming in and obviously did not hear my takeoff call out. By the time I dodged both those guys the temp was already at 500. I think the Tach was around 2400. As soon as I saw it I lowered the nose and the increase in speed cooled it back to 375 or 385 afte r what seemed like a minute or two. I was too busy worrying about it to time the temp drop. I definitely do not remember seeing those temps when I took it h ome or the next couple of flights. The oil is 61/4 qts. Does this mean that I need to climb out at a 100 or more because even at those speeds I have at least 500'/min climb rate or more, or do I have to not use full throttle on take off? Is this related to the baffling and/or the open hole, or have I just mucked it up somehow. What cylinder is the probe on an d could this be related to heat from the Powerflow near the probe and cylinder head? If I am getting this kind of response at these temps, I am definitely concer ned about when it really gets hot outside, and what if I really need that Vx cli mb rate? Any suggestions. As an aside, the first refueling showed a fuel flow of 7.3 gal/hr and today after refueling it was 9.3. I assume that it is somewhat artificially low due to runnup and taxi etc time. This is just feedback.
