Climbing higher is a good option if operational issues don't prevent that.
My ECI engine has cam squirts, a cold air (hot oil) induction and super corrosion resistant (extra blow by, too hard for mere mortals to hone) barrels. I have never really had an issue with CHT. Oil temps ...

It will be interesting to see the Lycoming-derived advance schedules in the Lyc-branded version of the Surefly.

It would be great if Lycoming actually publish those curves. I am not sure we really need them as there are not a lot of aircraft suffering engine damage. It does seem the older platforms are not sufficiently open to really facilitate a lot of experimentation.
The more I learn about it the more I'm not overly comfortable installing an ignition with "special sauce" inside. 10+ years of operational history has had me chasing around fixing things which were most likely the result of sub optimal components supported by excellent marketing. Just my opinion...
