TR4/4A Exhaust Manifold Temperatures

Hi,

I may be looking for trouble but, just for fun I pointed the infra red thermometer at my exhaust manifold at idle after a drive. I was quite surprised at the variation. Cylinders 1 and 4 were cooler, in the low 500*F. Cylinder 3 was probably 550*F but, cylinder 2 seemed hottest at 575-610*F.

Any thoughts? Good, bad, nothing to worry about?
