The Warrior has the same problem with lack of temperature instrumentation: just oil temp and EGT (single cylinder). Unless you always fly full rich, though, that’s a problem no matter where you put the mixture. The normal ROP lean setting is not too far about peak cylinder head temperatures, so you’re even more likely to have a hot cylinder there than you are flying LOP-WOT.

Thanks

btw – I like the idea of cruising LOP (wide open throttle style), but the 172 does not have enough temp guages to assure me.
