I'm in the process of fitting the cooling plenum and Sam James cowl over the O-360 in my -9.
I have the short Sam James cowl and I noticed that there is only a 1/2" of clearance between the baffles and the cowl by the oil cooler / #4 cylinder.
Is this enough clearance when the engine rocks during startup and shutdown?
PS. To measure the clearance I put some clay on the corner of the baffle and then installed the top cowl. From that it was very easy to measure the thickness of the clay.
