Karl,
Do you have a Mono-wheel? That model seems to have the most
problems with high temps on the ground. If you have a Tri-Gear, It
doesn't have cooling problems at all. In fact it runs too cool. I don't
have the shroud for the top of the engine. The issue is getting heat
---From the water and oil while taxiing for any time on the ground.
