Hi William,
As far as engine damage, I cant say. However, it is outside the recommended
temperature
range specified by Rotax. I had contemplated installing an oil thermostat
to solve the same issue, and decided to fabricate a cowl flap instead.
Works very well.
I close it off completely for engine start and initial warm up. I then either
open or close it to maintain CHT/oil temps in the specified range. As a bonus
I pick a few knots in cruise, especially in the winter months when, I have it
almost completely closed.
In use a small electric actuator to move the flap. I dont have the standard
Europa
firewall forward, so my installation is different. However, Jim Butcher
fabricated a similar cowl flap for the Europa XS. He usually monitors the forum.
Regards,
Erich
