Does anyone have a source lead on "high temp silicon
foam" or a substitute product to plug the ducts at the
firewall?

Once they're plugged, I assume you need to vent the
ducts to prevent a rise in oil temps. If the ducts are
not plugged in an RG, there's a pretty healthy flow of
air from the engine compartment to the nose
compartment - this must help cool the oil lines/oil.
