Hello Steve,
thank you for your comment and part number. In Europe we have no "egine logbook" and from the US-time of the plane is nothing written about buffles.
IIRC You should have 3 log books, Airframe, engine and prop.

Yep. And I checked - the entry for my plane is in the engine logbook and not the airframe.

The original picture appears to me to NOT be the Arizona Baffle. The new part is not very expensive and does help with lower and balanced cylinder temps.

Hello,
I watched my buffles over the weekend. I think that I have installed the Arizona Buffles.

Thank you for your help and thank you also for the drawing. This helped me a lot.

I found a plaque on my right air intake that points to the Arizone kit. Also, the diameter of the air inlet is rather larger as indicated in the Arizona-Buffle drawing (oval between 109 - 102 mm).

Greetings Oliver
