Hi Brian=0Amaybe I should do it on my Lycoming. Plenty of heat under that c
owling. The =0Aexhaust extraction works well though.=0AGraham=0A=0A=0A=0A

, fuel and oil tube heat shielding=0ABrian,=0A =0AI do not want to recommen
d for or against exhaust wrapping, because I have no =0Aexperience with it,
but my quick comment is this:=0A =0AI would rather not reduce the air cool
ing of the exhaust pipes. Have you seen =0Athe photo from Rotax=C3=A2
=82=AC=84=A2 engine test bed, at max take-off condition? =0AFrightening
, if you did not know that it is designed to take it: The exhaust =0Apipes
are literally glowing red!=0A =0AAfter I saw this, I always think about it
at lift-off and reduce to climb =0Asetting as soon as it is safe.=0A =0AMy
personal view is therefore to reduce the radiation that hits the carbs and
=0Arubber hoses as much as possible, rather than trying to prevent the hea
t from =0Aescaping its source. Shielding the carbs and the hoses has only
positive =0Aeffects, and weighs very little.=0A =0ARegards=0ASvein=0Ahttp:/
