Ok, I'm probably confusing the switch then.
I resized and enhanced the photos and have attached the new
one I made from
it.
Is that 4 position switch for the C HT or am I totally wrong on that?

IIRC, running lean at high power settings increases CHT. Running
rich decreases it since there is more fuel to help dissipate heat.
That's an OIT (Old Instructor's Tale) as far as I can tell, though I'm
sure that a little heat gets carried off that way. What actually

CHT further.
Anything lean of 50 degF rich of peak EGT will result in lower CHT.
Running right at peak is already slightly cooler, though only by a few
degrees.
All the best,

Individual cylinders have slightly more or less airflow cooling (due to

If ther eis a switch for CHT .. would this be so you can manually

No. Cylinder Head Temp is usually used to help you assess the health of
your engine. If it is running too hot it is likely to shorten the life
of the engine. If it is running really hot then it's

The engine has four cylinders and the four-position switch in question
allows the pilot to select between four Cylinder Head Temperature
sensors (one in each cylinder head).
