advice needed - weird temps
Hi
I have a newly rebuilt 0300-D. It is running hot - at OAT 93F, 2 cylinders are exceeding 400F on climbout and oil exceeds 200F. (BUT EGT's are perfect - less than 45F spread on my EI Monitor) On runup, no rise in RPM prior to drop on leaning! All baffling is brand new and installed correctly. I have been told that I need to increase fuel flow to improve cooling. I don't like going to my A&E without knowing what needs doing, why and how (it's a long story So - how do I increase fuelflow on my engine? Also - Cylinder 5 is too cool - running less than 300F CHT - which means it isn't scavenging lead - a recipe for sticking valves. I have been told it's because it is out front - but so is cyl 6 and that is one of the hottest. I am running TCP in the 100ll and Avblend in the oil - the engine is smooth as silk and has 30 hours on it. All suggestions highly appreciated.
