With the Continental 520 in my Bo you want to park facing downwind so
the wind can blow up into the cowl flaps to help cool the fuel pump.
The fuel boiling in the engine driven fuel pump is what causes the hot

First thing I do when I jump out of my V35 after landing knowing it is going
to be a short stop is to open both cowling covers. Always garners different
observations; some who understand and some who think the aircraft has an
engine problem.

Of course that is not an option for aircraft with covers that are screwed on.
