If I go a few degrees lower, the engine sputters.

Any flying a C182S with all six cylinders being monitored, what are you
seeing for CHT's EGT's(corresponding power settings and fuel flows)?
At 65% power 23" MP and 2300 RPM I am seeing 1400 deg F CHT's and 410
deg F CHT's with fuel flows lean of peak about 12-13 gph.


Not positive about this but it does not sound like you actually got to
the lean of peak setting. If you had, the cylinderhead temps would
have been MUCH lower. The old Pratt and Whitney charts indicate that
aluminum begins to loose strength at 400 degrees.
