re cold wx
Larry et al.
I have chased the parts books and service manuals for 1974/5 and I cannot find a reference to the baffles.
I run 150 on front and 175 on rear when the OAT is -5 C or so. I find the temps drop at 20k ft and not easy get around. Normal ops give me 175 on front and 195 on rear at 70% power with OAT around 20 deg C. It is certainly not the veritherm since the temps track between front and rear. Using a JPI to measure the temp. The probe is at the front of the engine which might influence the readings somewhat. The original guage reads "around" the same.
I added insulation on the oil filler pipe and it made a difference with condensation on the oil dip stick and surrounding tube.
I have always been concerned with lower temps on the front engine. Kevin... how are your temps in comparison? Seems this is about normal.
Fuel was 1.60 at KOBE last week........ not bad.
Wish all the best of the season.
Bob
