In the good old days, you'd just have glued a sheet of asbestos to the inside of the cowling . . . sigh.
 
Re: Gary Casey and his aluminum shield:  Are you putting the TSIO in your ES?  The IO-550 doesn't really present any heat problems.  As far as an aluminum shield with an air layer, an intermediate, preferably a thin ceramic blanket, would probably work better.  That way you'd eliminate both conducted and radiated heat, whereas the air gap does nothing for radiated heat.
