When I increased the throttle to
5300 rpm's in level flight, temps slowly started rising. I then noted the EGT
at 5300 rpm's. It was 1425. Does this sound a little too high? If
so, my mixture settings may be a little lean at those rpm's. Just
wondering what others are seeing for EFT temps for around 5300 rpm's.
Thanks in advance for any and all replies. Paul Conner
Paul;
The EGT depends on
your operating conditions, of course; but are not too high. I found on
the dyno that at max power mixture (rich of peak) and WOT at 5300 the temps
were right about 1550F.
I also found that
the coolant flow rate is 35-40% higher without a thermostat than with.
So it is no surprise that your running cooler.
