I typically climb my IO 550G Lancair IV out at 2500 and full throttle,indicating around 140 knots and see my hottest cylinder at 375 to 390 degrees. Is that too hot? I have the baffling kit from Lancair (delivered in 1998), is it different than the Columbia or Current Lancair Issue?, or is my climb-out speed higher? My lancair IV uses the ES cowling with the smaller air inlets. Fred Egli Lancair IV N1228E About 400 wonderful hours on it. -----Original Message----- From: Lancair Mailing List [mailto:lml@lancaironline.net]On Behalf Of Marvin Kaye Sent: Tuesday, July 09, 2002 8:41 PM To: Lancair Mailing List Subject: [LML] Re: IO-550N (The engine runs too hot in general. There are several reasons for that. One, the POH recommends 25 squared for climb, which is a very bad idea.)
