Key Takeaways:
- High Cylinder Head Temperatures (CHTs) are frequently a symptom of leaky cooling baffles in an aircraft engine.
- Fixing these baffle leaks is typically a simple process.
- Minimizing air leakage through baffles ensures more air is efficiently directed to cool the cylinders, thereby improving overall engine cooling.
