Hi All. I have an IO 320D1A with slick magnetos. Put a buzz box on the engine and found the right mag is timed at 2 teeth after 25 degrees and the left mag about 8 degrees after 25degrees on the flywheel. I have been experiencing elevated CHTs. My question is could this be causing high CHTs. The engine only has 10 hours but is using very little oil, about quarter inch in 2.5 hours. Temps run away in climb, especially #2(usually 20 degrees hotter). I plan to do the duct mod to the right inlet ramp while the lower cowl is off. Any help with the relationship of mag timing and elevated CHTs, if any, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
