it is more like the carbon is a heat shield itself and it directs the air over the cylinder fins to cool it as it is AC engine

I found Hexcel M-81 which could withstand up to 200 degrees but with complicated curing scheme and I quess it is not out of autoclave one Sad

You need to use some kind of heat shielding.

Hi!
One of my customers wants 250 degree celsius heat resistant covers for ultra light airplanes. He wants like a lot of them. Normal high temp resins perish at 180 so I would hit prepreg, but isn't that too hot even for it? what do you think? I couldn't find any data sheet about prepreg hdt after curing.
Thanks
