The static engine run temperatures climbed quite a bit with the cowling on and working on the programming I didn't notice that this was happening, but they went right down when I idled back.
I will have to pull the cowling in the morning and check the redrive, it appears the seal is leaking on the flywheel side.  With no support from Marcotte, I may have too much 80w in the gearbox.  I believe that the temperatures look good for flight.  JohnD
