Jaba, I remember reading the Deakin articles when they were first written, and one of the things which sticks in my memory is the difficulty (impossibility?) of operating Lean Of Peak with the standard engines of the day as the mixtures were so unmatched in each cylinder. Deakin "fixed" this by using tuned Gami injectors to tweak the fuel flow to each cylinder, using his individual CHT information from his JPI engine gage.

So - question - do you run a standard original engine (ie. are engines that much better today?), or do you use after-market matched injectors?

edit: second question - you were at FL140? Were you on Oxygen or in a pressurised aircraft? If you were on O2, I'm sure you've also read Deakin's articles on using welder's oxygen and nasal cannulas with pulse oxymeters - is this what you were doing at FL140?
