For anyone who followed this thread, this is what I did to close in the cowl, after switching to the BME 110. Hopefully the airflow will be good now and the engine will run in good temperature range. If this works I have a brand new cowl sitting here to install in place of this beat up and cut-up cowl.

BTW I ordered the new cowl from Wildhare last Wednesday after getting home from work in the afternoon, when I came home Thursday afternoon from work the cowl was already at my door. Now that's customer service.
