So what? The 91 degree heat emanating from the engine has to go somewhere. I wouldn't worry about it. If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

Treat every day as if it is your last....one day you will be right!!

At 52 I turned on engine and within 1 minute it dropped to 33. Still more then ambient temp.
So it's pulling in air from outside cooling it down again.

@K9F:

That's my whole point. If you protect the intake from that, you gain efficiency, maybe not much but so will the cost to insulate be.

Where is the sensor that is taking the temp? What is it mounted in?

Plastic tube, 10cm after the filter box.
But it's the whole duct that heats up, both before and after the filter box. The part from the wing to the box heats up first and most.
I think in total it's about 1m long.
