B. Engine Baffling (See Figure 71-001)
Note: Proper baffling installation and care is critical to engine cooling. If baffles or seals are
broken or misshaped, the amount of air flowing past a particular cylinder or component
will increase. The increased airflow in one area causes a reduction of airflow past other
components and leads to higher temperatures in some parts of the engine. Ensure baf-
fles are installed correctly and seals fit and direct airflow in the proper direction.
