Hi Kyle,
I am not quite sure of your current configuration. Please confirm engine ie
912UL or ULS. From your photos you seem to be Classic Mono with I think a
912UL.
In 1996 when I first flew my Classic Mono with Rotax 912UL (80 hp)we,
together with a number of other builders, had cooling issues such as you
mention.
The fix we all discovered in those days was to provide additional exit air
---From the cowlings. In essence all we did was to fit aprox 1" spacers between
the bottom of the lower cowling and the fuselage. This enabled greater exit
air from cowling and immediately gave 10 degrees centigrade reduction in
both oil and water temps.
This is just an idea that may help you but on the other hand you may already
have tried this.

Kingsley,
>From the very first flight of my Uncle's Europa (Kim Prout) he had temp
issues. The fist mod was the oil cooler moved to its own inlet below the
spinner. There have been many mods after.
In this link, the first 7 photos, you will see the current cowling mod of my
Uncle's plane. On page 4 the last two photos you can see the plane behind
two knuckleheads. I hope these photos will be helpful.
