Randy,



     I found this after searching the flycorvair site.

 The link is provided, but I cut and pasted the

relevant information.

Reply from WW:

Factory cylinder head redline is 575F. Many

well-baffled installations will run 300F in cruise and

400F in a climb. These should be regarded as minimums.

Engines running cooler than this are not as efficient

and not at the temperature which GM designed the

engine to operate at. Even 450-475F in a climb will

provide a very large margin of cooling to the factory

limits. This is a well designed motor. I know of no

other air cooled motor which has such a high red line.
