I decided to modify the oil cooler position to just below the spinner. Additionally, I installed some spacers in the lower cowling screws, under de exhaust, to increase the hot air exit surface. The modifications have performed satisfactorily. In my opinion they are necessary to operate in high temperature climates. In winter I need to mask with tape the openings in both water and oil coolers to avoid too mach cooling. Perhaps you can try with the spacers in the lower cowling before changing the oil cooler position.

CHT seems a little high at 115 to. Ive tried blocking the bottom of the cowl out to give better airflow. I spoke to David Hunter today who suggested moving the oil cooler from behind the Port Rad (HI is a Classic) to the lower cowl, just below the spinner. Has anyone else experienced these kind of temperatures? Has anyone moved the cooler on a classic if so, was it successful? If so, did the mod go through the PFA? Any photos / drawings would be fantastic. Probably a bit of a dumb question but, Ill ask anyway could the fact that the prop is set very course (about 18 degrees) be loading the engine too much and hence, thats why its running so hot.

It's not just a special fairing, but a whole custom cowl to go with the engine. You can see pictures at http://www.firewall.ca/Europa.html.

It's free to anyone who can collect it - I'm based in Cambridge. Its welded steel tube so you'll need some sort of trailer or a strong roofrack. You can find a picture at http://www.antsol.com/europaphotos.nsf/plinks/ALAR-6FUSD3 I'll give it a few weeks before chopping it up. Alan.
