I've been struggling with high cylinder head temperatures for 2+ years..I have tried everything. Stock RV cowling & exhaust installation: TMX-O360 180hp with Carb, Lightspeed & slick mag. I can see CHT's in 430F range or much higher if I did NOT manage power. Mixture & timing correct. Openned up intake & exhaust areas. Resealed w/silicone material (replaced black stuff) - tight fit. Plugged all the little holes w/red RTV. Sealed & recontoured in-let ramps. Spark plugs the coolest offered...I am measureing with Dynon FlightDek 180 and all TCs match exactly & agree with ambient temperature (0 to 100 F). Everyone that looks at it says "looks good, shold cool OK?". I am running out of ideas and would appreciate any feedback or ideas. Thanks...Tony

Subject: Sealing Around Engine Baffles...
Dear Listers,
Regarding the requirement for sealing compound (silicon?) around the baffle-to-engine
areas, what is the recommendation here? Is sealant absolutely necessary?
Adding a compound is going to really ugly-up the installation. 
If it is an absolute requirement, what are some suggestions on material to use?
About all I could find on ACS was this:
http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/mepages/rtv.php
At least it comes in Black to match my engine... 
Feedback would be most appreciated.

I had a similar setup and similar temps. Never really found a 'cure', I just managed it. Do you stay WOT during the climb? Have you looked into rejetting the carb? --

After you have sealed as much as you can --If you still have a cooling problem you, might consider louvers. Particularly if you have yet to paint the plane. I was worried about cooling with my io 360 so I built in louvers when I built my plane. It runs almost too cool -- I have to block about 80% of the oil cooler in the winter in SoCAL. No problem with heat even on hot, summer days at gross weight and climbing.
good luck

I have the same problem and have done all the things everyone has suggested. I Manage it, and have learned to live with it. Some have this problem and others do not, with the same setups. On hot day climb outs when it gets near 420 I level out and pull the throttle back until it get under 400 then continue the climb. It's usually only a problem during the hot summer days.
