How much heat shielding is required on the RV8 engine cowl? Would also like some ideas on methods used. Van's sells that thin cowl heat shield material, but Vetterman recommends using .025 aluminum boded on with high heat silicone around the edges leaving it lifted off the cowl and air tight so the dead air acts as a insulation.
Is the thin heat shielding from Van's enough, or is there something better. Thanks, Tom
