CHT again

[astaib]

Got it Bernie!

Anyway, I have to change one rigid because there is an evolution on it

I'm the only one to change rigid baffle and flexible baffle :):):)

I spoke some month ago to a club that has a DA40, and they changed all the rigid and flexible baffle (expensive operation), but maybe that better had to only change the flexible ones because the rigid one cannot become defective.

Other than swapping in the Arizona baffle I don't know of any reason to replace the other rigid baffle parts due to normal wear. I know of no other modifications. I could see damaging a piece due to a negligent maintenance activity, but that'd be it.

Actually, when I recently had my engine out, I did notice that the two rear carbon fiber baffles (cylinders 3 & 4) were getting a bit worn in a few areas, from abrasion by cylinder fins, etc. It isn’t something you would notice unless you removed them. I suppose, being composite material, that you could repair them.

I’m sure that new ones would probably cost > several hundred dollars each, being model-specific parts.

Around 600 $ each of the 4 parts

Allow me to rephrase: "I suppose, being composite material, that you should repair them."

Hi guys,

I finally installed the Arizona Baffle on the Cylinder #1 and I have to admit that it really changes my CHT by far!

I looking forward to test in hot air, but I tested today and the CHT are very lower than before with the same air tem (9°C).

It was just to close this topic, I'm very happy with this change.
