Hi.
My Extreem IO-360 had just passed 50 troublefree hrs and is broken in.
Since I'm about to start X-country flying, I'm wondering what the optimum values for CHT, oiltemp and oilpress are?
I realize that the values can vary alot with powersetting, OAT etc, but I'm wondering if it's any numbers which are "better" for the engine than others?
For example:
Is CHT at 400'F better than 350?
Is oiltemp at 210 better than 180?
What is the ideal oilpress?
Is it any "ideal EGT" or will EGT just end up where it ends up after proper leaning?
Maybe this is a stupid question and maybe there's too many variables for a simple answer, but it'd nice to hear from you engine-experts out there...
Thanks.
