    Default KF3 Cowling Question

    What is the typical opening at the lower cowling back by the firewall to allow air to enter in the front and exit out thru the bottom. I understand it should equal the opening up front as not to create any un-usual air pressures inside the cowling. Anybody have that gap in inches. Its got a 582 so the cooling lines also exit out the bottom.

    No opening on mine, it butts up against the lower firewall.
