Greetings:
Really useful to detect malfunction. In my case, I managed to unravel the PO's carb flange Heli-Coils through repeated ham-fisted dismantling. Temps that had been in the 275 range suddenly jumped above 300 due to air intrusion at the manifold. The gauge warned me of an issue, although not its precise cause. Laid off the throttle and nursed it home to investigate.
Changing jets, trying out different plugs, reeds, pipes or filters, a CHT gauge helps in many situations.
