Hi Guys,
Today I flew my RV-9 at 5500 ft/2370 rpm/fp prop/mixture ROP, with the following CHT and EGT temperatures, engine is a O-320-D2J;
There is a 24F difference between CHT1 and CHT4 and a 77F difference between EGT1 and EGT2. All in all not a very steady and well balanced situation.
My first question is whether or not this is bad for the engine and if so, what is the best approach to cure the difference ?
What are you guys seeing in CHT/EGT temps and the difference between them ?
Cheers !
