Paul, Please add my name back onto your list.

I have been Flying again, with great results.  The engine came back from
Bruce Turrentine at the end of June.  I got back in the air July 5th.  I
increased the air openings (as I may have said) and it lowered the temps
about 60F.  I get 193F  on hot cruse now and 203 on climbout.

Tracy suggested a 16psi rad cap and that worked.  Now, the water holds at
about 12psi on climb.

The photo shows the front of the nose now, with the enlarged air passages.

Jerry, check with some people on the RV list for those NC lathe machined
aluminum round intake inserts. They were worth 20 or 30 degrees cooler engine
with the aircooled crowd.

Perry runs a 24 psi cap with excellent results.
