We are just getting ready to fly our RV9A for the first time, with an Aero
Sport 0-320 (at) 9.0 - 1 ratio we are using an ACS 2500 engine monitor, I am
wondering if anyone out there that is running a similar engine could post
the average temp. ranges for things like EGT, CHT, Carb Temp. Oil Temp.
ect. we are not exaclty sure what temp's we should see on this new engine
and want to keep an eye on things as we run it. Any info will be
appreciated. Thanks.

Tod

Tod,

I have an O-320-D2J 160hp with 9:1 with a SJ cowl and plenum.. here are some
ballpark numbers from memory.

EGT's are running in the upper 1300's during cruise. I think you want to keep
these below 1450... I kept mine below 1425 at all times.

CHT's are running in the 380's on the back two cylinders and cooler on the front
two. My engine guy (BPE) said DO NOT let the CHT get over 385 on the ground....
on climbouts mine will go up to about 410. I think you want to keep these below
425.

I have a firewall mounted oil cooler and temps have been running around 180-190
and that is with half the inlet blocked off and the OAT being in the 50's.
I've had it go up to 205 during full power runs or long climbs. I think 210 is
probably a good number to stay under.
