Default RE: *G62 Overheating Or Not*

Ok guys, I'm feeling better about this as we go along. I don't have a field charger so I can't check the ignition battery by putting a 5 min. drain on it but I did replace the battery. I think I will cut a square in the front of the cowl in the center of the head and then make a baffle of some sort to direct air flow. Would a baffle on one side be enough or do I need to do it on both sides? I'm trying to get this done before our meet on Saturday.

All of the flights before the problem started I did notice something. The engine ran a lot smoother at idle before I took off than when I landed. When I landed the engine seem to idle just a little higher and rougher. Would that have been a sign that the engine was getting hotter than normal?
