Hi Ferg,
Out of interest i added a temp sensor in the cable form on top of the engine.
This
is a 914 with shroud. All gillls closed. Normally this sensor indicates about
40 C max, during taxi as well as flight. Only after the engine has been shut
down, the temperature goes higher. Opening the inspection covers helps. Next
thing to try in Summer is to cover the standard eyes in front of the cowling.
They would make nice places for lights. Second thought is, that i would never
accept anything but aircraft grade wiring, not even in other places as under
the cowling.
Regards,
Jos
