My experience in several original designs I built found success by = realizing that areas in and out are important.=20 But the most important and primary prerequisite fact is that pressure = rules. You have to know or find the area on your cowling that has lower = pressure than your inlet.=20 Make a simple manometer with plastic tubing and a little liquid. One end = in the inlet area, and the other in prospective outlet areas. Others = will offer the number of inches of fluiid shifting appropriate to your = engine. Hope this helps.

Hello All

I = am having unbelievable trouble cooling my = engine.

I have installed two oil coolers, got = the Zavatson plenum on, yet l can't complete a circuit without the oil = temp hitting red! I am cutting out the intakes to make them larger now = and opening up the outlet too.

l have a = Mccauley prop on the aircraft, would this make a difference compared to = the Hartzell?

Thanks

Richard
