I was just tinkering with a way to keep an engine from freezing up on a high‑altitude run—think of it as a heat shield that doesn’t overheat the cabin. Ever thought about how a vehicle’s engine can be both a heat source and a target for the cold?

Yeah, the engine’s heat is a double‑edged sword up high. With thin air it’s hard to get rid of the heat, so you need a shield that keeps the engine warm enough to run but doesn’t fry the cabin. Think of it like a snow‑covered ridge: you keep the snow from melting, but the wind still has to reach the base. A good design lets cold air touch the engine’s radiators while keeping the cabin’s air sealed, so you stay in the sweet spot.

Sounds like a solid plan—just make sure the seals don’t get clogged with frost. A quick check of the ventilation vents will save you a surprise shiver later.

Got it, I’ll keep an eye on the vents before the climb. Frost in a seal is just a cold surprise, and that’s not the sort of risk I’m willing to take.
