| Subject: | sudden high temps |
I've been flying my 6A here in southern AZ since last august. I haven't had
any heating problems until last week. Cyl. head and oil temps on my Bart
Lalonde IO-360 were much higher than normal. I carefully inspected
everything, took off the cowl and cooling plenum. Everything looked OK
except that looking at the cooling fins from underneath the engine there was
a LOT of peeling paint on them. (This engine has always had peeling paint.)
On closer inspection I found a lot of fins that had a "flap" of paint
attached only at the edge of the fin but laying down flat on the fin's
surface. This could cover a layer of air between the fin and the paint,
thus "insulating" it. The flap of paint that isn't laying flat could impede
airflow. I called Bart and he opined that the peeling paint might be the
cause. He advised me to remove it and see what happens.
I spent a couple hours tonight trying to get the loose paint off using
dental picks, tiny brushes, small files. It's difficult because it's hard
to reach and the paint is pretty flexible and tough. Has any one else had
this problem? Is there anything better to clean the paint out with?
Something like a pipe cleaner but with brass bristles would be just right,
I think. Any suggestions?

I've got a Bart IO390 in gloss black and have 170 hours on it with no signs of
pealing. Oil temps always in the 180s, CHTs well under 400, and EGTs <1400. I
wonder why the paint is pealing?
