An easy seasonal fix for higher temps is a hood raise. Simple 1" square stock, and 1" longer hood bolts. As hard as it can rain, very little water enters into the engine compartment from the cowl area due to the design of the cowl & hood.
These 1 inch "shims" go between the hood and the hinge. It's a cheap simple way to help the natural rising heat escape from the cramped engine compartment.
Here's mine:
It doesn't get too hot up here in Maine, but last weekend it was hovering around 90 degrees and the engine temps never went up past 115. Slow wheeling and I even ran the A/C...cuz I could :elkgrin:
