If you have any opening at all in the bottom of your cowl, get a sheet of 1/2 inch foam board with foil on both sides and build a duct that will hold a 1500 W ceramic heater. It should be L shape so the heater is out from under the KR and setting in the duct. The other end of the duct blows up in to the cowl. When I still had the Tripacer I could have the oil temp reading 80 degrees in about one hour in a 30 degree hangar. That also told me the entire engine compartment was up to temp. Throw a blanket over the cowl and cover the inlet holes for best results. Larry Flesner
