Graham,
That's a great idea. Taking that a step further, how about a marine type water jacket with the fuel helping to cool the engine and at the same time getting a preheat. Where to get small diameter copper tubing locally, plumbing and heating outfits?
Called the airport too late yesterday, thanks for reminding me.
K&S sells small 1/16, 3/32 and 1/8 diameter copper tubing. If need be I can pop some in the mail for you, the local hobby stores have it in stock.
I thought about the water jacket or maine type cooling head as well, certainly a possibility. Or do like many did many years ago before the manufacturers made the marine heads, wrap a copper tube round the head (I think Octra may have marketed one line that).
However, if you cool the engine too much with one of these heads or jackets, might that not have a detrimental effect on the idle??
cheers, Graham
