Default RE: BME 115 Any Field Reports?

I'd like to get some outside input regarding the cooling vents on my Yak.

The ignition is mounted on the engine box above the engine, placing it in a warmer enviornment than I would normally like. I'm thinking of turning the top two vents around to face into the relative wind and prop blast in order to direct some cooler air over the ignition. I'm thinking it may also assist the hot air to better exhaust out the sides as well.

Anyone agree or have reason to disagree with that concept?
