No. Highest power, and thus greatest heat, occurs ROP. Maybe that is
what you meant to say.

Yup...(If leaner is cooler then LOP is cooler) that's what happens when I
post five minutes before bedtime :~( (contradictions in back-to-back

I meant ROP (especially 50 ROP) is the worst setting you can use, not only
in terms of heat but cylinder pressure as well.


I routinely run my engine 50 LOP in cruise; the CHT's stay below 380
deg. How could I get it hot enough to "melt it down into slag?"
