Terry, Have you got the 912S shroud fitted to your engine, which takes cold
air from behind the prop and forces it down through the cylinder fins?
Assuming you have, does your ali baffle across the foot wells still aid
general under cowl cooling?
All, If the gills are blanked off, has anyone found an alternative location
for the regulator to keep it in cool air?
Regards,
William
