After the decent and landing, temperatures were at about 140 degrees, and the engine was running very good. Interesting report Steve Questions: What was the temperature during your previous long flight? What type of intake are you using? Comment: Possibly some of your liquid-cooling is now from gasoline . sounds like you were too lean before.
