Baffle Dams...

I have an O-320 Carbureted engine. I have Vans CHT and EGT gauge on cylinder #3. I'm seeing CHT on climb-out of around 380, and cruise 330-350 depending on power settings.

These temps are good based on my understanding. My engine is used, so it is broken in.

Does cutting the baffle down in the front of cylinder #1 typically reduce temps on #3 and increase on #1 or vice versa.

Or is there no typical case?

Thanks,
Mike-
