Thanks everybody. I went out to the aircraft
and took another look based on your input. Your info helped a lot in
seeing what should have been obvious. Apparently, when the engine was
installed after a major not long ago, the hose from the nose cowling to the
diversion box on the lower left firewall was not replaced. Will be an easy
correction. The heat side looks correct, with a hose taking air through
the baffling from above the left rear cylinder, through a heat collector, then
down into the diversion box. It does appear however, the connection for
the fresh air side hose that would feed it into the diversion box is missing
also. Looks like a something that can be fabricated easily though.
Thanks again...Roger

There is no shut off associated with it, although I can pull on cabin heat which gets air from another location, still in the engine compartment. I cannot detect any exhaust leaking but am getting a lot of engine compartment smell, apparently from that source. Is that normal? Am I overlooking something? It tends to leave my clothes smelling slightly like the engine after flying for a while.
