Hi Ken

I had a look at the pics and one thing appears to stand out, that is the
routing of the exhaust and the placement of the muffler on the right hand
side of the engine compartment.  The air intake is directly above the
mufler/exahaust pipe and would be sucking in warm/hot air. I am going to
predict that the engine comaprtment will get mighty hot, especially idling
in CA traffic.  I think it would be better to route the exhaust away from
the engine compartment, or at least provide cool fresh air for the air
intake.
