Cessna R/TR 182 Pilots and Owners

Nad, I agree it is sad that data/info is so anemic. But that was the way it was 45 years ago.
POH numbers came from test pilots on brand new aircraft. Endurance is likely from LOP best case. Speed, ROP leaned to best speed.

I’m not advocating lean of peak on carbureted engines, even if our fore ...

I’d be very interested in a webinar with a Lycoming rep on leaning specific to our engine. Basically everyone I have talked to has had different advice, and I am probably routinely running richer than I should right now. So, I think that would be great to hear directly from the source. Also I’ve ...

Here is an example flight where I manually leaned to the onset of roughness. I'm always open to an opportunity to learn, and I appreciate the discussion!

Thanks for all of this info. I did take Paul New's class when I first acquired the airplane, and I agree there was alot of good info. I became conflicted though after I uploaded all of my engine data to the Savvy website and the engine analysis team recommended I operate ROP. From the best of my ...

Scott, thanks for all the info you post. It’s always interesting to get opinions on leaning. I currently run my TR182 (O-540 L3C5D) ~125-150 ROP for most ops after several mechanics strongly recommended against running at peak TIT. I upload all of my engine data as well. However, ROP ops will ...

Update…

I had the snubber installed and that seemed to fix the issue. Thank you to all that responded!

Thanks all. The snubber sounds promising. Will talk to my mechanic about it and let everyone know how things progress.

Thanks for the response. It happens at every altitude. Here’s a link to the video.

I’m hoping to poll the crowd for some help. The manifold pressure reading in my 1980 TR182 has been fluctuating ~2 in during normal cruise flight after a recent avionics upgrade. I don’t feel/hear any changes in the engine that make me think this is an actual engine power variation. And my mechanic ...
