I took a piece of flat silicone rubber (the kind used on engine baffles) I then
trimmed it to cover the retract slot. I then cut another piece 3/8 inch high
,and used instant glue and installed it down the length of the first piece.
Looking at the end it looks like a "T". Simply lay it in the slot on take off,
remove it in flight, and once gear is extended for landing, lay the strip back
in the slot.

into the heater system - holes in the duct, gaps between the oil lines and
the baffle - even the little hole in the corner. I just taxi tested it with and
without the heater on and both cases showed no CO in the cockpit. We have
weather
today, so I didn't fly. I'll be finding out if the heater now works OK.
Having the exhaust leak around the turbo area helps to determine if the heater
is isolated from cowl gasses. I knew I had that leak for a reason!
