My plane suffers from pretty serious vapor locks on the ground in hot weather which makes my engine temp rise rapidly and dramatically. I always need to hurry to get in the air because oil temp will jump past 200 deg.
One of the first thing I will do is to install a shroud around my fuel pump and check fuel lines. That will certainly help a lot.
One thing that sure doesn't help is the heater bypass box which, when closed, dumps a very large amount of heat behind the rear baffle, very close to the fuel pump. Has anyone made a mod to take this unwanted heat somewhere else, away from the accessories gearbox area. Pictures would be great.
IO-360 B1B on 100LL, dual Pmags with automotive plugs on A curve advanced 3 deg for low mass prop.
Thanks
