I think he's weakening. :)

Good find.

Looking at you're engine pictures I'm wondering if you'll get a lot of
radiant heat from that exhaust inside the cowl. If you do, you might
consider sawing it off and extending the turbo shield rearwards with ss as I
did to get the heat out the back. I'm seeing no problems with the heat on
the prop, plus this gives some augmentation to suck cold air into the NACA.
Just a thought. I know you wont want to change things around this close, but
if the heat becomes a problem this would be an easy fix.

Regards,
John
