The radial engines were often originally specified with spark plug gasket CHT probes - - which typically read about 30d F high to drilled port cylinder CHT probes.

Subject: [LML] P&W CHT

 

My airline pilot friend, who is building a Lionheart, told me what the CHTs were on the P&Ws he flew on the twin-engine Convair. Max CHT, 260C, 500F. METO, 232C, 450F. RECOMMENDED cruise, 204C, 400F. This was the temperature that they were supposed to adjust their cowl flaps to achieve during cruise! BTW, I was asked, on my first posting about CHT, to reference the source of my opinions, which I subsequently did. I hope all that respond with other views will do likewise.
