Hi Guys,
Some time ago, there was an article that featured a 601 with a Subaru
that had a bulkhead just inside the cowl that blocked air that would go
over the
engine. I'm not sure if any air was blocked below, but doubt it. Anyway,
there's been more than several days that I'd like to have been flying
with a nice
overcast but there were thin spots with rain and have been reluctant to
expose
my plugs and ignition to moisture of that sort. The fellow that did the
bulkhead
said his engine ran better and that he didn't have to worry about
drowning his
plugs in a downpour.
Sounds good, but how many of you have done the same
or experienced fouled plugs getting into the rain inadvertently.
I expect this protected his belt drive as well.
Any opinions or experiences among you on this?

I put a sheet of aluminum just behind the cowl opening to deflect
more air down over the oil pan in hopes of keeping my oil a little
cooler. It seems to help a little. I don't know if it helps keep the
rain off the plugs since I haven't flown in heavy rain.
