Hi Carl-
My 5 and 6 are still way too hot. I just checked the log from my last fligh
t and they got to 400 f for a few seconds. The deflectors over 5 and 6 were
much larger that flight and I have cut them down a bit now, but have not f
lown it. I have the same problem you do with the oil cooler. I had refitted
it to make it at 90 degrees to the direction of flight and need to get the
cowl rebuilt, which is turning out to be quite a job. Do you have photos?
If so, it would be nice if you could put an album together too. To get an a
lbum, you need to e-mail Steve Dunsmuir at sdunsmuir@mac.com. He will set u
p your gallery and you can then add anything you want to it. I am talking t
o some of the guys on the Jabiru forum about it too and they have some good
ideas. If you have your oil cooler whipped, that may be part of the proble
m. Bud is of the opinion that the exhaust from the cooler may create a high
pressure area just under the cylinders, making it difficult for the air to
get through to the low pressure area in the bottom of the cowl. I think he
is build a baffle behind the cooler to deflect the exhaust from it.

These are nice clear photos. How successful are you so far? I'm doing exact
ly the Same cooling project on my Europa.
Yesterday we installed baffles in the plenums (which were previously just p
lain).
I also have a new bottom lip on the cowl, like yours but a little bigger
I also have a tight plenum around the oil cooler.
Before the plenum baffles, cylinder 3 was hottest.
Now cylinder 6 is hottest... I think we need to reduce that baffle a bit.
After climbing on full power at 85kts I had to level out at 750 feet to coo
l down, OAT was 25. Cylinder 6 kit 170. Hottest other cylinder was 159.
Obviously once we even them out a bit, and 6 stops being quite so problemat
ic, it will be much better... But I'm interested to know what sort of max t
emps after climb I should be looking for.
I'm running out of ideas on what to do next! Any suggestions?
Regards
Carl.

Fred-
I opened an album and put a few pictures of what I have done for cooling on
the Europaowners web site. You need to go to page 4 on the site to find my
album. The sit is not terribly inuitive but easy to use once you get used
to it.

Jim,
On my combuter (iMacbook) when I want to email a photo, I get a sizing prom

to send the photo in its full size resolution...I thought this was a featu
