Hello Rolph,

>experience with exhaust pipe insulation? Regards,Rolph
Norman Adam lagged the stubs from the heads, mainly to try and
protect the oil tank as things were a bit close. He also stuck a sheet
of stainless steel in too i believe as a heat shield.
I feel that lagging exhausts may be a good thing to try, but
fly without any lagging first, and carefully monitor head/water temps
before and after, as i feel it <may> raise temps significantly.
However, we await the definative word(!) from Graham1...;-)
chus, dave
