Konrad,
How/why does it work? Good question, and I didn't really expect much in the way of results when I tried it, but figured it was about $0.25 worth of material and 10 minutes of work to find out. My belief at the time was that everything inside the pressurized area inside the cowl expeiences the same pressure which causes similar cooling flow around each cylinder. I didn't see how reducing the airflow around one cylinder would translate to a significant improvement in temperatures on one other cylinder (as opposed to all three). But it did.
Since it does work, my <new> theory is that the deflector restricts air movement around #1 both by deflecting some air up and over the cylinder and by restricting the flow down the front face of #1. Since air has mass and wants to conserve its momentum, much of the "surplus" air continues moving back to cylinder #3, giving that cylinder a disproportionate amount of the surplus airflow.
If you follow this link, you'll find my post on the subject after I installed the blocker on my airplane:
