Some visual of air cooled engines fuel cooling at rich

You can jump to the 2:30 mark.




More cooling fuel on the Merlin




The 985 even has a rich mixture.




The design of the aircraft engines in most piston aircraft is a rich mixture for cooling the engine, the cylinder in particular - the valve overlap/lead and lag also help with cooling & make for an impressive light show at night! More so if no exhaust is fitted.


Anyone wish to rip the exhaust of a IO-520 and run it at night?
