Hi Jim,
You raise some valid points and I check that area when ever the bottom cowl comes off for the reasons you've stated. I have 140 hours on the Hobbs now with no signs of melting or rubbing. That includes flying on many of those 100+ days we get out here in the high desert as well as a 50 minute taxi and hold at OSH last year (lousy thing to do to your engine!).
Regards,
