Hi CHT with 0.0 gami spread
Start with a CHT probe calibration. Put all 4 in boiling water . Also I believe #4 is almost always the hottest cyl on these planes. Look for anything under that area that might trip the airflow, some

Working on getting rid of my 2nd oil cooler.
Id advise against DIY cleaning of the oil cooler interior plumbing. You may loosen but not remove all of the contaminates which could then contaminate the lube oil going to the engine. I cant say Ive

COZY: Re: [c-a] EZ nose lift repair parts
Pull the lid off the motor, its EZ, and you can see the gears. I think you'll find the gears are fine and the clunking noise is below the motor in the part Jack makes. If so its probably a bad bearing

Keith, like Jay I cant think of any unthreaded port back there. The oil temp port has machine threads, the tach drive has male machine threads, all else is NPT. The temp port takes a AN crush washer,

COZY: Kanab Fly-In; Minor Incident - Part 2
We recently discussed the Wilhelmsom NL mount bolts coming loose, this was the cause of my nose wobble incident a few years ago. The plane never showed the slightest inclination to wobble before that

Keith, Is your engine injected and have you done a GAMI spread test yet? If not I’d suggest getting that done and the cylinder mixtures well balanced before you go any further. Tim Andres

Suddenly changing CHT/Oil Temps
All you can do is verify the data you now have is valid via testing as you have done already with the oil temp probe. I’d agree that the new data is likely correct and this is the first time he’s had

I had Blackstone labs do before and after tests on my oil with that specific question, if they saw any difference after the separator install, and they saw nothing to report. Hardly conclusive but FWI
