I would agree with that suggestion. In winter I have to
tape off part of the oil cooler opening, which provides
more cooling to my cylinders, but when I don't need it.
Then in the summer I open the oil cooler again and lose
cooling on my cylinders right when I need it the most.
Not sure how you would catch the air for the cooler
outside the baffles, maybe some kind of NACA inlet on
the side.
I forgot which cowl you had, Murray. If it's the old
style aluminium one, it shouldn't matter from what I
have heard on this list. It's just the fibreglass cowl
that has these cooling problems because it is so tight
on top and in the front where the inlets are.

A little off the subject but a thought.
I talked to Brian at MAM re: cooling. When I
get to floats he suggested that
I get cooling air for the oil cooler from a
scoop rather than from a hole in
the baffle.

Hi, Alister. I do have the aluminium shroud
around the
gascolator, but don't have the cooling duct from the
baffles. Because I'm challenged in keeping my CHT's
down, I don't think I can afford more loss
of air from
the cylinders. I do have little cooling ducts on my
magneto's but I don't think that costs me
much. Thanks
for your suggestion.

Just a thought Walter, I built an aluminium
shroud around the gasculator on
my rebel and ducted cold air from the back
of the cooling baffles to it.
saw it done on a piper cherokee once)
If you are using Mogas would perhaps that
be an idea.
Cheers

I've got cross venting to my tanks, AND I
have a ram
air tube on each cap, with all other cap
vents sealed
off. I do remember some fuel flow problems
on the early
Rebels, so I thought I took all the steps
I could think
of to avoid this type of problem. The only
other thing
