Greetings, I fly a 1978 T210M with a TSIO 520R. The number 5 cylinder at 380-390 is consistently higher then the others by 40-60 degrees. Cylinder 1 is typically 300-310, The others are 320-340. I have GAMI injectors and have changed a couple of them out per GAMI. I am concerned that there is such a large spread between the cylinders. I know the Centurions seem to have an issue with the CHTs on #5. Do I need to be concerned? Is there a fix to get them closer? I did have all new baffle seals installed. Appreciate any input.

    Well first of all your CHTs are well in line with operational limits that's for sure. Many people would kill to have your high numbers. What are your EGTs?

    Check probe connections and swap a probe

    Were those numbers the same before New baffles? And definitely check all sealing areas around cylinder number 5

    When was the last time you had the fuel system checked and set up.

    If you're EGT and fuel system is set to spec then that's just happens to be that cylinders happy place. You could go farther and check rotocoils on the intake valve but you're definitely not doing any damage to a cylinder from what you're showing us.
