Listers,
For years I have just lived with the fact that #3 CHT is always higher than the rest. I have flown my RV-8 for 950 hours with #3 CHT running 15* higher than the rest, after I put the temp riser in front of #1. Then, awhile back someone mentioned putting a washer between the #3 cylinder and the back baffle where the screw holds the baffle to #3. Well, I put a 1/8" washer there and sure enough, #3 CHT came down 15* and now all four CHTs are with 4* of one another. Thanks to whomever made the suggestion. So #3 CHT does not have to be higher than the rest!!! Another myth busted.

Just goes to show how important a engine monitor is. Otherwise you really dont know what your engine is doing.
Is there anyone out there who thought their engine was running great, then put in a engine monitor and realized just how bad the temps were? Care to share with us?
