REFLECTOR: Heat in the nose!

[Jim Agnew]

It is even more of a problem according to Alan Shaw if you have an engine fire or exhaust leak since the smoke/CO will be sucked into the cabin since it is a low pressure area relative to the engine compartment.  He insisted that I take some high temp silicone foam and plug the engine firewall side with it.  In addition, I covered it with the High Temp silicone Gasket (RED) maker.

Make sure you are not venting high pressure "HOT" air up the ducts and exiting around the opening in the ducts for throttle cables et. from the engine compartment.  The ducts should be sealed at the firewall to prevent this.  This could be your problem and not the cooler.
