Let me add something: If you add a cable release to the oil door--make =
sure it does not infringe on the baffle area when installed on the =
inside of the cowl.  Mine does and the baffling is interupted by the =
cable installation which allows air to leak through the top of the cowl. =
  Doesn't sound like a lot but it make a big difference in cylinder =
cooling.  Paul, N357V.
