Juan,

You DO have to be concerned about running too lean, which is
why Continental does not recommend leaning for extended periods of time
at
high power settings (above 65%).


Ok, I'll try again. The point is to run at the right mixture setting. That
might be very rich of peak or lean of peak. Whichever you chose, "too
lean"
is not the answer to "what's dangerous?".

The context is a carbureted 182, an O-470. For the specific model mentioned
in this thread, neither the manufacturer nor TBO Advisor recommends running
lean of peak, period, or at peak EGT at power settings over 65%.
