Why is LOP (lean of peak) controversial?

I suspect you've been to the APS seminar, and you didn't notice something
wrong in your numbers? Then, too, it's not unheard of that an installation

Hey, I wasn't born with A&P knowledge and I have yet to go to an ABS BPPP
pilot or maintenance clinic. As you probably know, I am using the aircraft
to commute weekly to work and, thus far, I have failed to make time for
either, as work and family commitments took priority.

When the previous owner, who used to run an auto race team and perform his
own maintenance on both autos and airplanes, sung the praises of how cool
the cylinders ran on this aircraft, I assumed he knew what he was talking
about. This began my education in temperature management and set my
expectations.

No where have I read, prior to this thread, that temperatures above 300 but
below 350 degrees indicate a problem with the engine monitor. No where.

Initially, I agree that I reacted somewhat defensively here, but that has
changed and now I am definitely taking the responses here seriously by
contacting both TA Turbo and JPI to get this issue resolved.

What concerns me more than my newsgroup reputation is that, with incorrect
CHT readings, I have no idea where these cylinders are really operating.
