Friend had a baffle seal flip over backwards and the closest cylinder went quickly to critical temp on his test flight. You might have a seal that flops over under pressure. Your cowling may expand enough for this to happen and you might not find it. I tried to find some neat baffle pictures showing little puckers that caused high temps. On my Bellanca, I had baffle that I though leaned against some rubber and sealed. Just putting a flap of duct tape in that location brought the temps down over 10 degrees centigrade. Incidentally, the gentleman that wrote the message that his temps are ok with your set up may just have the right slant. The location that produces enough pressure differential for proper cooling is important.
