According to Lycoming, the minimum CHT is 150dF.  TCM does not give a=20
number, but reading between the lines leaves one with the impression=20
that they think 200dF is a reasonable low limit.  They set their liquid=20=

cooled engine at 240 continuous and it has the same barrels and=20
pistons, etc. as the air-cooled engine.  You can hardly ever get 'em=20
that cold.
