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.
