Default Why is LOP (lean of peak) controversial?

You more than likely have an CHT indication problem. There is no reason your
airplane should run much cooler than the fleet.

The cylinders are new Superior Millennium cylinders with about 250 hours
on
them, if that has anything to do with the cooler temperatures.

And yes, my engine's CHTs are normally below or around 300 and have never
approached 400, routinely. If you would like some verification of this, I
would be happy to upload my engine monitor data (from several months ago,
I
have yet to download a current set), which is in the latest JPI format, to
a free host site for anyone's perusal.
