I kind of freaked this morning because my head temps this morning were at 400f on #3, 380 on #1. After awhile I remembered that the gauge is calibrated for 70f so the real temp on #3 is around 365. I am still wondering if this is too high for just cruising on the hwy at 65-70 mph. I pulled the plugs the other day and 1,2 and 4 were tan with some deposits but #3 was white with just a very light coating. Going by the receipts I got with the car my engine is a 2056 running a 280 degree cam (Fat 442), 96 "euro" pistons with TS rings. I’m not sure about the static compression ratio but I did check with a gauge and found all the cylinders to be within 112-120 psi.

I’m currently running 13.7:1 afr, should I make it richer, say 13.0:1? The car use to have carbs and the afr was around 12.0:1 but I didn’t have my head temp gauge then.

One more thing, the motor runs strong but has a mysterious oil leak, doesn't leave puddles, does show any obvious signs of burning or dripping but the oil level drops significantly every once in a while. I had the head vent hose attached to the wrong nipple on the air cleaner so it may have been pulling a vacuum; I’m not sure if moving it has worked yet. Jake warns against using TS rings so I wonder if that could be the problem.

Thanks

So this is an aftermarket FI car?
having one cylinder going lean could be a clogging injector.
Carb then you got a freaking clogging idle jet. I freaking am going nuts clogging idle jets. I have cleaned, cleaned cleaned inlcuding the engine compartment being spotless. Obviously not enough yet.
