On the other hand, I find it hard to make a baffle, I don't have any means here.... I'll try cutting the cooling mesh from the cowl, those who look like shark gills, I'll post a picture of it.

Jorge,

If you want to make effective baffles, to provide ample cooling, please read [link=http://www.supercoolprops.com/articles/cooling_largemodelengines.php]this article from Joe Supercool[/link].

It will give you a better understanding, of the flow of air within the cowl and how to alter it, so cooling will be maximized.
Having what you define as entry holes and exit holes in the cowl, just does not cut it...

That web site has a lot of other very interesting material too.
