Guy,

I would sit in the cockpit and close the canopy and then figure where to mount the weatherstrip to the flat turtle deck bulkhead. Before you apply the adhesive wipe the turtle deck bulkhead with mineral spirits or alcohol to prep the surface. Let it dry before you apply the weatherstrip.

If your local store does not have it in stock, you should be able to order it with the part numbers and branding information on the package.

Also on you engine, try one thing at a time to bring your temps down. Many times I have gone overboard making changes or adjustments only to realize later that it was not necessary. One step at a time. Do, check, adjust.

Most likely your issue is the baffles not sealing tightly against the cowling. This is from what you have described.

Keep us posted on your progress!
