I am getting ready to start fitting my upper cowl. I made lines at the centerline of the cowl and the centerline on the boot cowl for alignment to each other. While I was standing at the front of the engine and looking aft I noticed something.
Imagine looking aft and sighting down the upper joint of the engine case halves like the barrel of a gun. When I did this, the sight line was about one and one eighths inches off to the right of a vertical line I had drawn down the middle of the firewall. I realize that the engine is mounted to pull a little toward the right; but THAT much? Curious as to your findings. I believe my Lord mounts are all seated in the engine mount correctly. Also what effect does the offset have on the cowl; especially at the spinner/cowl gap.
Thanks, Rich
