use carb heat on final as directed by the POH. You are not helping!

I agree. Pilots should do what it says in the POH. You'll get no
argument from me on that point.

If you'd ever applied carburetor heat and full throttle on a Lycoming
O-235, you'd understand the reason I mentioned detonation. I suppose
that (and the way the Lycoming induction system is plumbed against the
warm engine oil sump) is why the Piper POH doesn't recommend the use
of CH unless induction icing has actually occurred, unlike Cessna.
