All good info here. One more point is to keep all shields and tins around the engine. These direct air from the cooling fan around the cylinders mostly from back to front to keep things cool. One more point, inspect the shroud area where the engine fan is to be sure critters have not built a nest in there obstructing air flow and after mowing I blow air between the tins to get rid of detritis that tends to build up there. Once per year at least I remove the shields around the cylinders and thoroughly clean the fins around the cylinders.
