Walter Atkinson:

If one looks at the CHT and ICP curves and valve temp, one would see a nice correlation.
Sort of yes.

The EGT is a red herring.
No. The curve speaks for itself.


The NACA report does not show all of the issues. These issues have been clarified quite nicely by Lycoming in 1966 and in the Carl Goulet Memorial Engine Test Facility.
...but:

We have hard data to prove that. The data came from a 1943 top secret NACA report done during WWII.
...and a couple of posts back:

According to the 1943 NACA report referenced....This is definitive evidence that the two are NOT related.

...now the top secret NACA report does not show all of the issues Well okay then let us be seeing this 1966 Lycoming clarification.

I won't ask for the Goulet stuff because you already said:

Go the the APS website and sign up for the online course where 16+ hours of hard DATA are presented. It is the equivalent of a semester course, not a simple SAE "paper." Where I went to school, one had to pay for the education.
This isn't school Walter. By refusing to bring any supporting evidence out from behind the paywall of your course, your opinion on valves is unsupported and therefore not credible.
