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 
will resolve the heat problem?????
