Maybe an electric fan under the engine cover might be a good idea ?
Leave the viscous fan on the engine of course, but the electric fan
could vent the hot air when the thing is switched off.

i keep meaning to experiment with mounting a bit of drainpipe pointing
down out of the 'engine bay' to see if it could create a vacuum at the
end and suck the heat out of the engine when moving

I've got a spinny thing mounted on the top of my chimney which does a
really good job of amplifying the draw of the chimney and keeping the
smoke going up and not down.

would such heat up when stationary, given a bit of breeze

Stainless too, so very shiny.

Just a thought.
