I have a question about the louvers you are using, are those stock? It seems like
they are cut in the cowl more forward than most. Could it be that your installation
has more hot air being pulled out the forward portion of the cowl rather
than the aft opening? If that is the case then your fairing would see more
heat than others. Just a thought - Jason

| Subject: | Nose Cowling Heat Shields |
RV-10 Builders:
If you do not shield the lower engine cowling, it will warp and
turn brown from the heat produced by the exhaust system.
A permanent fix is to mount a sheet of .025 or .032 aluminum with
the same contour of the cowling over the area of the cowling where it
gets hot from the exhaust (about 6 in. forward of the exhaust pipes up
front and back to where the mufflers end). Place 3 or 4 #6 thick
washers between the heat shield and the Lexan at the top edge of the
aluminum and rivet it to the Lexan with countersunk rivents on the
outside. It will take 3 or 4 rivets on each side of the cowling. Shape
the aluminum sheet so it is parallel to the Lexan leaving a 1/4" space
between the Lexan and aluminum sheet (an air space). Rivet the lower
edge of the aluminum sheet to the bottom edge of the Lexan with counter
sunk rivets. You will not need spacer washers on the bottom edge.
This is as light in weight as the adhesive aluminum reflector and
will last forever with better heat protection.

This makes no sense to me. My -10 has no Lexan in the cowl or elsewhere. Also can't
imagine a Lexan and alum. sandwich being lighter than the adhesive alum.
foil. What am I missing?

The aluminum tape we use for exhaust vents on stoves works GREAT.
Its meant for High Heat Ventilation systems
I have used it on my 10 for 143 hours no problem.
The interior was "Browning" before I applied the tape.
No problems since.
I think the tape number is "704"...
If my aging memory serves me correctly...
