Keith, I wouldn't completely give up on it.   at peak is okay if you are at a low enough power setting. (e.g. like you will be at higher altitudes)
I have a O-360 at 2200 hours now which looks pretty clean on the borescope.  
I usually am flying low and am VERY ROP (125 dF) but also have been running at peak to very slightly LOP when high.
In general the CHT's are 30 dF lower when peak to LOP.

Colyn, you're right.  I was using the CHT as a benchmark for whether I was LOP or not, but not how far. 

After trying it again with the lean find mode on the EDM-700, I now see that the spread is such that I can only get the #4 cyl to 10deg LOP before the engine gets close to quitting, because #1 and #2 are so much leaner at that point.

So, as it turns out, close, but not cigar.  ROP it is, then!

Keith
