I suggest that you go to Cessna Owners Org & search lean of peak in the
archives. Walter Atkinson has posted a lot of excellent material on this
topic.

Ok. Just want to see if I have this correct. When leaning using an EGT
gauge the 172R POH says to lean untill the EGT needle peaks then enrich to
50 degrees F rich of peak EGT.

So the EGT temperature will be 50 degrees less than the peak reading.
Right?
