After sanding to the scribe marks and fitting the cowling to the airplane (engine and prop are installed) I find the front face of the cowling touching the spinner. Obviously the cowling has to move aft. Using the search function it appears that I need approximately 1/4 inch clearance. At the aft edge of the top cowling the cowling already overlaps the front top skin 1/2 inch or so. I'm guessing (can't tell from the KAI) that the top cowling should butt up against the front top skin, not overlap it at all. Any advice on all this stuff will be appreciated. Also, I'm curious how much builders are needing to trim the aft edge of the top cowling beyond the scribe line. Thanks.
