to open the bottom more again once you are floats, if
you are still seeing 400 on wheels.
Whether you like it or not, pretty soon you will have
it looking like mine... :>)

Subject: Re:CHT Temps
I have a speed cowl on Rebel N96HG with an
0320. I installed a forward engine
baffle (the one MAM doesn't include in their
manual) like the Van's guys do
on their planes and I was able to bring my
CHT's down 15* F. I can now cruise
at 75% (it was 80* F today) power and keep
my hottest CHT at 400* F or less.
This will be a big help when I install the
Amphibs this winter. For all you
builders out there installing the Speed cowl
with 0320 or 0360's I would fit a
forward engine baffle now and get it over
with. Most...all, Speed cowl and
Lycoming installs I'm aware of have some
kind of high CHT problems.
Lycoming recommends keeping CHT's below 400*
F at 75% or less and at 435* F
or less at continues max power. this still
seems hot to me but I know some guys
that run with CHT's this high and don't seem
to have any ill effects. And
Lycoming says it's OK. Soooooo?
