There was a guy here in Ohio with a similar problem. After a lot of exploration,
it finally took testing the differential pressure across the cylinders to determine
that there was a baffling problem somewhere.
Not that I'm an expert, but I'm told that the baffling on Grummans can look Ok
but not be - there can be some less than obvious gaps. Might there be something
on Bondline about checking the baffling for Grumman-specific problems? If
it's not the baffling, at least you have some peace of mind and did some preventative
maintenance, which is never bad!

No answers, but some additional info to digest...
I have just "upgraded" to a short stack from the standard DD
powerflow and have noticed the following:
1) Increased climb rate (Id estimate 20% better based on various
weight configs)
2) Higher CHTs (about 30 deg) on climbout. I also climb at 80kts
rule of thumb.
Perhaps the short stack is better matched than my previous Classic PF
or whatever, but higher climb rates to me translate tell me Im
generating more HP, which translates into more heat? No? I haven't
noticed any significant differences at cruise power settings.
My standard departure profile is to climb out at 80 until 1000AGL
(~1000 ft/min), then reduce pitch for a 500-750 ft/min climb which
increases my a/s and keeps things cool.

Is the high CHT the result of the new cowling or the power flow exhaust?
Does the new cowling require installation of the power flow exhaust?
80 knots till you clear the trees is pretty normal, then 90-110.

Subject: | Re: overheating TIger |
Sounds like the biggest problem is the PROLONGED climb to 1500-2000 ft at 8
0 kts. There is no reason to climb at that slow a speed for more than a co
uple hundred feet. Climbing at 100 kts will provide just about the same RO
C as at 90 kts because of the higher engine RPM and horsepower and the cool
ing is better.
I've heard the factory CHT instrument on the AG-5B is not all that accurate
and I'm not sure what cylinder it is located on, but AG-5Bs had a reputati
on of the #2 cyl running hot at Embry-Riddle in Prescott, AZ. And the baff
ling below #1 is very restrictive because of the alternator mounting and di
fferent baffle design from the AA-5B. Bill Scott modifies the stock baffli
ng to provide more air flow on #1.
Allowing the CHT to reach 500F will shorten the life of the exhaust valves,
guides and result in cracks in the exhaust port probably. The PF exhaust
probably aggravates the problem as it puts more heat into the cylinder. Do
n't climb at partial throttle as the carburetor has an enrichment valve tha
t will result in a leaner mixture than if you reduce the throttle even a ha
lf inch.

I have a customer with a 2005 Tiger. I put a power Flow on it about a mo

Hi Gary. I need some feedback. Today was the second time that I have tak
en
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 and a climb rate of 1400 to 1500
feet/min. The outside air temp was 21 C on both days. This was with ful
l throttle and full rich. I was just beginning to
start a cruise climb both times when I noticed it. I was looking for it to
day,
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 tem
p was
already at 500. I think the Tach was around 2400. As soon as I saw it I
lowered the nose20and the increase in speed cooled it back to 375 or 385 af
ter
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
home
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 th
ose
speeds I have at least 500'/min climb rate or more, or do I have to not us
e
full throttle on take off=3F 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 a
nd
could this be related to heat from the Powerflow near the probe and cylinde
r
head=3F
If I am getting this kind of response at these temps, I am definitely conce
rned
about when it really gets hot outside, and what if I really need that Vx cl
imb
rate=3F
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.
Thanks

Hi Gary's Customer,
Just back from being stranded in Cowboy country. The Starter went out in
my '02 Tiger. Les Staples overnighted a new one and it works great! I'd
like to respond to this query as I had overheating problems with my '02
Tiger and found severall things to help it cool better. I always climb
at 80kts and never have cooling issues but...when I first had my Tiger
it would overheat.
First, I'd confirm measurement instrumentation
Second, I'd look at look at ways to make the engine cool better.
I'm guessing this plane has JPI and not EI engine scanner? As the chief
GGG (that's Grumman Guru Gary) has said the JPI indicates....70deg hgher
than the EI and Lycoming Factory instrumentation indicates....So your
500 was really only 430....
Yep, GGG's cowl will make the cylinders run really cold, under Lyc's
recommendations and I can't wait to get that cowl on mine..my EI 325deg
heads may be in the high 200's then:)
Ways to make it run cooler....lots of secrets there that lots of
mechanics did not want to let me know about...took long time to find out
some of them.... dinner bell just rang.... so here is just a short list
of some:
1) Whatever hole you are talking about patch it up. In fact go out at
night and put a light in the cowl and find all the holes and patch them
up with silicone
2) Ensure that the baffles are open "enough" ...that is on the bottom of
the cylinders. The distance between the rear wrap around baffle and the
intercylinder baffle is often too small especially on the 2000 vintage
AG5B's
3) Look for cylinder cast flashing between the spark plugs blocking
cooling air near the exhaust valve.
4) Make sure all the silicone baffles lay flat against the cowling. Pay
attention to the front baffle cowl because my '02 silicone was too short
and did not even reach the cowl.
I'll try and get more details later gota run but GGG knows all this so
just take her back to him and have him get it done...

I always shoot for a 90 kt climb and with the Power Flow I can usually get
much faster (and cooler) while maintaining at least 500fpm=2C which is an I
FR concern=2C but nothing but a round number to shoot for VFR. 90-110 kt c
limbs also increase forward field of view which is already excellent over t
he nose of a Tiger.
During a full throttle=2C full rich 90 kt climb on a hot day I might see 45
0 deg F CHT (EDM-70) until right around 5=2C000' DA. I never patched the e
xhaust hole in my stock cowl=2C and I have Vogt baffles. Interestingly=2C
after installing the Power Flow short stack my oil temps went up a consiste
