Mike, I think you have a Franklin. I would think the bottom of the =
cylinder wraps would be important on the Franklins too. =20
By the way, the back of my cowl is within an inch or so of the prop with =
reliefs cut in the top and bottom (maybe 1/2" more) of the cowls to =
allow the cowl to come back enough to clear the lip on the fuselage.
Should work!

OK, from analyzing the answers so far, the cure for high temps on taxi =
and hold
is to:
1} Male sure the plenum is tight around the cylinders. DONE
2} Lean like hell while idling. ALWAYS DO.
3} use bilge fan to cool oil. HAVEN'T DONE THAT YET
4} Make sure cowl is as close to prop as possible. DONE
5} make slots on lower cowl for air to exit.
Scott Swing already tried # 5 with minimal results.
Maybe mounting a big fan (ala Volkswagen) with the top nacca scoop=20
will resolve the heat problem?????
