He needs to replace the filter for the cabin air intake though.

Yep. Replacing the whole cowling when the cracked windshield gets fixed.

Do you suppose there's any thermal benefit to be gained by having an aluminum tank? With it acting as something of a heat sink? Or if any gains, they might be immaterial?

Based on my observations: immaterial.

Does the temp change hold up? In my case, I've seen a drop from the usual 188.6F to 186.6F but only for short periods... I run 180F genuine with brand new radiator, cooling system, etc.. All is flushed once per year.
