On my flight home from Missouri yesterday, I noticed #3 CHT at 275, while all others were 340 in cruise. I confirmed during flight that ignition was behaving properly and my first guess was debris in the injector. Pulled the cowl today and that turned out to be the issue. Now resolved.
My question for those with more experience, how often is this an indicator of a developing issue in the FI system vs a simple anomaly in the S*** happens category. FI system was installed 500 hours ago, so not a typical piece of debris introduced by the installation process. Though I suspect is could be that with the debris clinging to something else for a LONG time. I can't imagine this piece got by two different filters.
