Here's a front view of the uncowled engine. Note that the needle valves stick up well above the cowl line. As it turns out, the intake manifold rubbed the top of the cowl as well so I had to cut reliefs for them as well. The exaust pipes just barely clear below. I'll have to post a picture of the installed cowl, later, since I'm setting up to bench run the engine, now. I suppose I should really buy/build a test stand to break it in but I'm too lazy. In any event I'm moving and have to start packing up my shop. The good news is that my new shop will be much larger.
