REFLECTOR: CHT's

[Douglas Holub]

"I think because of the way the ducts enter my plenum the air has to make
a 70 degree turn to go through 1&2.  Its much easier for it to travel
straight back and go through 3-6. "
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't want to discourage you because I've seen diverters used under the 
cowl on some installations so I assume that people do get them to work, but 
I spent a lot of time shaping a couple of diverters to bend that air down 
toward the firewall and I never saw any improvement. Sealing up gaps between 
the plenum and the engine and then increasing the gap around the hot 
cylinder is what fixed my problem.
