It is a big hit here at our little airport as it is so beautiful. So, to the point... I did a cooling mod about 18 months ago. I put a box around #2 cyl and instead of building another, or making a hole, in front of #5 I put in a shim of 1/8" HDPE to allow air around the valve area. All CHT's are within 25 degrees F if memory serves. A great improvement over the stock baffling on the factory fast build engine. Can you fill me in on the lower cylinder ducts? I am curious (green). I have shielded the lower cowl from turbo heat but would like to know about that and exhaust shields, too. Is that info proprietary from George? Thanks, Walter Dodson LIV-449 ps: Albert and Orin will be here in December to try again at training and also to move 90Y to Chicago. I may go along and see a show at Albert's Goodman Theater. Boy, if he had a feather... Walter Dodson LIV-449 ps: How many trips across the US is in that 500 hours on Papa Bravo?
