Also, I think everyone is paying a little more attention to the temperature, 
especially in the crankcase area.  New models are showing up with air scoops 
to direct fresh air over the rear bearing area, and I'm sure that helps, no 
matter what engine you are using!

All, I agree with Tony's comment on temperature, after the Fresno contest 
this year, at Jerry Budd's suggestion, I installed some airflow 'diverters' that 
forced air over the case and lower portion of the crankcase to keep that area 
cooler.  Had plenty of air flowing around the head and upper case but no 
directed flow over the lower end.  Not a scientific measure by any means, but I 
think it helps, I intend to do the same in future planes.
