Needless or not, my brain is on a roll and I want to finish my design.
Here is idea for the cylinder's heat sink:
Heatsink is made of these
It will require just basic tools to make it.
Also, compressor 3D model I found is not exact measurements and it has 3 bolts not 4 that holding cylinder's heatsink with manifold. So I may have to make model myself.
If I get to the point of making it, I will also do the comparison graphs with temperature readings.
