I guess I have to ask the obvious(?) question - why are you worried
about the temperature after shutdown? First, the engine is water
cooled, so the majority of the mass is at a relatively low
temperature. All the components are, or should be, designed for that
temperature. What problem are you trying to solve? The weakest
material is probably the cowl itself, but some thin insulation should
help. I know that after shutdown when you touch the cowl it feels
really hot, but so what? Just wondering. (the gravity-operated doors
described seem to be the simplest "automatic" option)

Thanks Charlie
It's really a smart idea, with only one inconvenient. It will not
prevent
rain water entrance when the aircraft is parked outside.
I'll put it in my solutions list. If it doesn't work properly, I
still need
the electrical automation ...
