I've posted sporadically about flying phase one this year. The unusual problem I am having is high temps on #1 cylinder (left rear), not #3(right rear) as is always the case. After checking numerous times all the usual cooling problems, I started again with the baffling.
Well I feel stupid because I did check this months ago, or so I thought, but the left rear baffling was just barely making contact with the cowl. So just yesterday I replaced the black factory rubber along the aft aluminum baffle with the usual red silicone rubber from ACS.
I have yet to fly with this (almost finished, needs rivets) as our grass runway is once again wet and soggy.
I'll update as soon as I can fly again.
