Hello and sorry if this topic has already been discussed,
I have a new build -7A with a new Lycoming XIO-360 engine and snorkel inlet.
My first flight (5 minutes) the CHT's hit 550F and I quicky landed.
It was a cool 70F morning and test altitude was 1400-3500 ft.
All the baffling (new)appears perfect with little to no leaking.
I'm just staring my investigation and my first question is (did you install the lower cowling louvers?)
I did not, and that's my starting point for correction.
All suggestions are welcome
