Hallo Cub pilots,
Could anyone give some comment on the following matter. I have a 0-290-da2 engine that has done 120 hours since overhaul. The temperature in the nb.3 cylinder is near 450 regardless of outside temperature and full rich mixture. The oil temperature is normal. The baffel plates are in good shape and are fitting the cowling.
Will this high temperature in the end result in a broken exhaust valve?
In an earlier engine this happened and I had to make an emergency landing in a field. By that time we did not have a gauge for the cylinder temperature.
I will be grateful for any comment.
