Not a good idea for a new or rebuilt engine. It needs air flowing
to keep cylinders cool. Happened to a local guy who thought it was neat
to taxi all over the area in his new airplane, overheated cylinders and
it burned a lot of oil from the very beginnoing. He had to rebuild the
cylinders.


I can see that happening at idle speeds but if you run the
engine up to full throttle won't the prop wash provide enough
cooling, depending on the cowling of course.
