Maybe this is one area where some hard data can be had and do some good.
Anyone with a well enough instrumented engine can plot the CHT  heating and cooling rate of change at any given time.
Test for this:
1: on engine start with a cold engine.
2: same but with a fast idle.
3: going full power for takeoff.
4: large power reduction from cruise.
5: shutdown.
 
My bets are on #3 and I suspect this one will make the others look insignificant.
I for one, would appreciate some response.

 
 
Thanks,
