Engine Analyzer Question/Lean vs Rich of Peak/Engine Longevity

[Walter Atkinson]

Kyle:

For the most part I agree with your post. A couple of very minor nits in the interest of accuracy:

1) The mixture where the highest CHT's and highest ICPs are noted is between 25 and 75dF ROP.

2) We have tried to induce detonation at any LOP setting without success as long as the timing is set correctly and the fuel is correct.

3) The most detonation-prone mixture setting is 40-50dF ROP. That is a fact of the physics.
