| Subject: | Sealing Around Engine Baffles... |
Dear Listers,
Regarding the requirement for sealing compound (silicon?) around the baffle-to-engine
areas, what is the recommendation here? Is sealant absolutely necessary?
Adding a compound is going to really ugly-up the installation. :-(
If it is an absolute requirement, what are some suggestions on material to use?
About all I could find on ACS was this:

At least it comes in Black to match my engine... ;-)
Feedback would be most appreciated.

I used-red (high temp) RTV to fill all the nooks and crannies.- In serv
ice for several years, its hold is as tenacious as ever.

I'd fly the airplane first to see if I had any cylinder temp problems.
If I did then I would go with the RTV.

Necessary? Maybe yes maybe no. If your engine runs hot=2C it is necessary.
If your engine runs cold=2C maybe not.
I used BLACK Permatex Silicone from PepBoys. My baffles are painted black
and so is my engine. I know guys that have used bath tube or kitchen RTV.

I also used red, high temp RTV---I sorta like the purdy red color. I
also put louvers on the bottom of the lower cowl to aid in cooling ---
probably was over kill as the engine runs very cool even in climb on
hot days.
