: Deakin posts a chart from Pratt and Whitney in his "Mixture Magic"
: column which verifies this precisely. In the chart is a line
: depicting the loss of strength of the aluminum alloy used for cylinder
: heads. It starts dipping LONG before 400 degrees is reached and is
: plummeting at 450 degrees.

: See: http://www.avweb.com/news/columns/182084-1.html

: He recommends running at 400 degrees or under for cruise.

I knew I'd read it somewhere and suspected it was a Deakin article.
