Hi,
I am new to this forum and have a C-185 but am helping my friend get comfortable in his newly acquired 64 C-210 non turbo
One issue we noticed is the #5, I believe, cylinder temp will shoot past 400-420 on a normal climb and you have to lower the nose for more speed to get it below 400. In cruise with oat's around 30-40F at 24sq we have to keep the cowl flaps open somewhat to keep temps below 380.
The plane just came out of an inspection and FF is slightly past redline on TO and all baffling is in good condition. The previous owner admitted it always seemed to run hot. The readings are from a JPI700. The Cessna head temp gauge also reads high.
Is this a common issue with these birds or is there something we need to look for?
Thanks for any suggestions,
Tom
