OK Roland,
I am confounded by your ground cooling issues. I was checking out an
Instructor pilot for N12AY at 95F and he took a full 20 minutes with a tail
wind doing ground checks then taxied for another 5 then ran up and we did in
fact hit 245F on the ground. On takeoff it stayed at 245 and we leveled at
1000 AGL after takeoff for 2 minutes and temps dropped below 240 then we
climbed to 5000 AGL never hitting 245 again. On a stock setup, you should
see the same.
Some find Drop box works very well for photos rather than albums but photos
are a pain no matter what we do. I love how instant communications burns up
so much of my day.
Regards,
Bud Yerly

Bud, thanks for your offer. I already tried to attach photos but will try
again later. I removed the mentioned sealing again, since it obviously made
the situation worse.
Again, in flight the setup worked perfect under all conditions-I even didn't
came close to CHT-limits when climbing FL200 in summer without a level off.
CHT reading should also be correct since I once shut down at 118C and
could hear the coolant boiling a little bit.
