No. 5 Cylinder Fins
Could anyone please indicate if they have modified the Right Aft Case Baffle
(CB-1007A) to enable more airflow around the fins of the right rearmost cyl
inder head fins?
The No. 5 cylinder head fins are very shallow where they butt up against the
Right Aft Case Baffle and was thinking of modifying the case baffle to enab
le more airflow around the cylinder fins.
A friend has conducted this modification on his RV-6 and has reported reduce
d rearmost cylinder head temperatures.
As per Tim Olsons advice I am also filing out the cooling gaps between the f
ins on each cylinder near the spark plugs. After shining a torch down there
, some of the fins are just showing an air gap due to the casting flash. If
you've also done this, is there an easier way to do this compared to using a
very narrow flat file?
Warm regards
Patrick
