This engine has very good mixture distribution and I've been experimenting

It's funny, for all the ill reputation the O320-H2AD engine got as
fitted to a C172N, all the ones I've flown have had very good mixture
distribution and don't go rough as you lean the mixture out - the RPM
just starts dropping as you get too lean.
