In fact, the presenting problem is that I have not been solidly below
400=B0F. The hottest peak CHT just after takeoff on a standard day would be more like 430=B0F, and the coolest about 400=B0F. On really hot days I have seen even higher values, albeit for only a short time. I think I have solved this problem at this years's annual by installing a fairing around the big gap between the PowerFlow exhaust pipe (much smaller than the standard Cessna exhaust). With the fairing installed, peak CHTs just after takeoff are now between 400=B0F and 375=B0F as a result of better airflow inside the cowling. Regarding design limits, I do appreciate that Deakin was referring to bigger engines. But I still wonder what a limit for the O-360 might be as a result of adding the tuned exhaust. One step at a time, let's check the prop governor and maybe the wide-open mixture. Thanks. |
