I just did my first flight on my RV8 about 30 day ago. All went well ( usual small Items). I am at 19 hrs and was hoping the CHT's would come down . They are fine in cruse 24 square or even 25 square 360 's. but 1,3 and sometimes 2 go over 400 to 415 on the first climb even at very shallow high speeds. I check timing, I checked baffle leaks, I tried the washer trick. As the temps get warmer here in northern Ohio, My fear is the CHT's will still be a problem.

So I bit the bullet and did the " baffle mod behind number three, and cut down the dams in front of 1 and 2.

When the winds stop blowing at 35 to 40 and the rain quits I will report the results.

Flew my 8 with the # 3 baffle mod yesterday. I appears to have worked well. # 3 is now right in line with the rest and appears to have dropped 20 to 30 deg. F.

I also have been cutting down the air dams in front of #1 and #2. 2 is now good but 1 is still a little high, I will cut it down. Now at hr 21 on phase 1.
