I have a new Lyc O320 with 68 hours and I am still having high CHT's (as high as 450 on climb-out on #3) especially since we are now getting ambient temps in high 90's down here in South Georgia. I have worked on my baffles and seals, dam in front of #1, etc and still no joy! When I level off the CHT's drop into high 300's. I am climbing out at 130 MPH.
I think that I will have to make the engine run richer by installing larger diameter jets in my carb. I am getting good fuel burn numbers now and with the price of gas I wonder if my fuel burn will go up appreciably.
