Perfect, yes that makes a lot of sense, only had the plane (first plane owned) for a year and 160 hours, but trying to do my best to make sure I’m operating for longevity as much as I can control.

I can keep all but one or so under 400 in climb at 36” MP and decrease my pitch angle to cool them under again. So I’m wondering if I need to always keep them under 390 of if a short term climb a little over 400 is ok as a temporary condition? If I keep at 390 the nose is pretty low and I’m not getting a great rate of climb. I am full rich at takeoff.

Is there a number or range to keep cht in during cruise and climb? I can typically see 410 on climbout and always limit to 385 in cruise. I only see this on one or two cylinders but sometimes it’s an exercise in cowl flaps open/closed during cruise. I understand the heat issues with the gb so I’m trying to monitor carefully. The POH says 460 but what I have heard is that’s to high. So question is what is a max value on climbout vs Cruise I should be monitoring. Any ideas or suggestions would be great. Thanks

Please contact me as I would have interest.
