This is among the best "under the engine cooling system" installations I
have seen. From what is visible in the pix you sent the only
thing that comes to mind is Lynn's observation about the 'crossed rotor' plug
wires (a real no-no).
The "theorists" would criticize the sub optimum distance behind the coolers
but that is an over-rated factor. We live and fly in the real world where
that is rarely possible. To fix it would require one of Rusty's BUC
cowls and you don't want to go there
. Problems can lurk in details no visible
in the pictures but I think it will work fine. Resist the urge to put
louvers, monster outlet sizes, draggy lips on the outlet and other such
fixes. Do put clean radiuses around all corners of the outlet (except the
bottom).

Subject: [FlyRotary] cowl/engine
installation
Attached are more pictures of my cowl and radiator
installation.
Comments are welcome!
The first picture shows the
inside of the lower cowl with the inlet duct
to the radiators and the air
cleaner for the engine intake at the top.
The second picture is a left side
view of the engine and radiators.
The third picture shows the RX 7 (1989?)
oil cooler mounted next to the
Griffin GRI-2-58185-X radiator with
fin dimensions 12.75" wide x 18"
long x 2.75" thick.
