That might need some re-thinking. If LOP is best power, why does you POH show a higher TAS for ROP than it does for LOP??
leaner = hotter, richer = cooler is for the combustion chamber.
ROP rich of peak is for peak
exhaust temperature
LOP lean of peak is also for peak exhaust temperature
This might be where some of the disagreements are coming from.
