Don't know where my minds been, maybe too much focus on
these other mindless threads!! Back in the old days, ( in western N.Y.) we
used to hang a 60-100 watt light bulb inside the cowl, then throw a blanket over
it. (the cowl) Keeps everything warm and toasty all the time, eliminates
condensation which occurs both after shut-down in cold weather, and radical
changes in ambient temps during the fall and spring. And it doesn't cost much to
operate. I'm on my way to the hangar now to accomplish the task. I
would also like to remind those like myself with other than continentals, that
the Lycoming top mounted cam is hard to lubricate, and should not be started
without warming the oil, ( and hopefully the whole engine,) and pulling the prop
through at least one complete cycle to re-distribute pooled
oil.
