I have vapor lock problem when engine hot, (running  mogas), and last summer it happened briefly with 100ll. I am wondering if the  vents would allow more cooler air to circulate and help the prob. I otherwise  have no overheat problem. ( I always open the oil check cover when I park to let  hot air out but if doing a long taxi I cant)

Do you have a carburetor or a fuel injection servo?  Big difference 

in how to approach the problem.
