What your maximum is will depend on where the probe is and a little bit on how the air flow is over the exhaust. When you are leaning the engine you are looking for what the peak EGT is as you pull the mixture back. The actual number is not really that important. When you are at your cruise power setting you want to slowly pull the mixture back a little at a time. Let the EGT settle for 5 to 10 seconds each time you pull back a little. You will eventually reach a point where you get a peak temperature and pulling back the mixture any more will cause the temp to decrease. Once you have found the peak you want to push the mixture in where it is 25 - 50 degrees rich of peak for a good economy cruise. Your best power setting will be about 100 degrees rich of peak. You will find that your peak temp wil vary some depending on your power setting, altitude, and outside air temp, but you can still find the peak at any setting. I have found that with exhaust wrap that it is much easier to find the peak on my Midget Mustang than it was without it. You will get some differences of opinion on weather you should run rich of peak, lean of peak, or at peak. If you have a good matched set of fuel injectors like the Gami ones you can safely run best a little lean of peak. When you are using a carburated engine or regular injectors that are not matched and you only have one EGT you need to err on the rich side because you might have one or more other cylinders that are leaner than the one you have the EGT on and you can damage them.

The hottest (CHT) cylinder is usually the rear right or rear left depending on which way your prop turns. The leanest cylinder depends more on your intake system than anything, but other factors come into play including exhaust scavenging, cylinder health, etc. Take a look at your plugs after a flight with minimum idle running after you land and see if you can tell if any cylinders are looking leaner than the one you have the EGT on. On a certified engine with the original intake and carb they will always be pretty even, well usually anyway.

Its not real pretty but after reading the other flight stories on the net I had to go. I got to the airport this morning, OK almost afternoon. Gased up and fired it up. Since it was so cold,,,,, about 65 I had to let it warm up for full 5 minutes. Everything was looking good. I taxied around for about 10 minutes, and then decided to give it a test. I taxied to the active and was cleared, I can tell by the sound in the controlers voice that he was happy to see me back running. I took off and had plans to fly to Yuma, but wanted to fly close to the airport at first until all felt fine. After about 10 minutes I decided to head west. I was about 40 mile out and that little voice inside said...."what are you doing'? the big voice said flying to Yuma shut up. I checked all temps, the map and went to Yuma. Being a Marine Corps base as well as small commercial airport, I wanted to have all my ducks in a row. I listened to ATIS and it said "YUMA TOWER CLOSED" all traffic on 119.3. A glorified unicom, that made me feel a little better. Normally there are jets and planes all over the place today one cessna in the air and one Lear taking off. After landing a getting to the FBO, I drained the baldder and talked to several people who wanted to talk to big guy who got out of that little airplane. I cant make the plane bigger, diet started today. I gassed up and took off to the NW tha CA dunes are packed on Turkey day weekend. Brother in law and office manager and families were out there. A couple low passes and back to Chandler. 150 miles in 1:20. Not the fasted KR2, but a flying KR2....yyyyyyyeeeeeeeeehhhhhaaaaaaaaa.
