Mike, the data is around, it started back with the Spirit of Saint Lois, the Doolittle raiders, NACA tests, Wright, Pratt & Whitney, TCM and Lycoming even have it. In most recent times the only continued work in this field has been done by GAMI in Ada OK, and they have proven the old stuff and further more have refined the knowledge on a lot of what was once believed because they have the only engine test stand in the world like it. Nobody else has bothered.
Your CHT's may be fine, thats great, but if your position is taken on that, it is like saying well I have never worn a seat belt and I am still alive. But you have not had a big accident so thats why you are alive, despite the fact that if you do the seat belt might just matter.
Please yourself. But some other data point which is not public is the results at APS classes from the mechanics, those who are not pilots either and have no experince playing with an EMS in flight to see what happens. Initially they score the lowest by far in the initial mini quiz. By the end of the weekend they are often all over it.
I have said before, be wary of advice, go get educated yourself. Then when you have a really good understanding, you will know how to interpret the engine guy, the hangar buddy or even some nut case from Australia on an internet form!
If you were to take your fuel flow advice from someone who can stand the test of scruitiny call up John-Paul or Tim at GAMI on Monday and ask them. I think you should not be wasting their valuable work time and you could search this elsewhere yourself, but you could. Call Bill Cunningham at Powermasters, or Don at Airflow....
Or just believe me I am not here trying to sell you fuel.
By the way fuel does not cool.....another OWT. And no I am not going to try to explain this in detail here, DR will run out of bandwidth and the site will be lost forever or something worse

indeed!
you are correct. My typical full rich sea level ISA day rate is 0.593 to 0.597 lbs/hr And that is exactly as Mr Lycoming and Mr Precission Airmotive set it up to be. Recently serviced by the best engine shop in Oz at Riverina Airmotive.
I would believe they have it pretty much under control.
You can lead a horse to water, you can't make it enjoy the view!
