Regarding installing the upper cowling inlet ducts:
since the #1 cylinder and #2 cylinder are a few inches staggered differently from their respective air inlet (#1 cylinder is closer to the air inlet opening), should this be a consideration when installing the upper cowl inlet ducts?
Another words, should the placement of the inlet ducts also be staggered to allow for a consistent gap/clearance between the top of each cylinder and its respective inlet duct? Installing both the left and right inlet ducts in the same relative position will effectively result in the #1 cylinder being “pinched“ as the gap would be less.
I totally understand how to epoxy and fiberglass them in place, no problem there, I’m just uncertain about the fore/aft positioning of the inlet ducts?
Thanks to all who may respond,
