Default Engine to airframe air gap
Guys,

Got my J66HP mounted in my baby Boomer...was questioning the clearance / air gap and if I had enough to not cause problems with heat. I have painted the bay with the BVM heat shield paint for extra protection.

What do you think?

Looks good to me, worst case scenario there, you have a wet start and get some dripping that lights off, as long as you are on top of it, your heat shield paint will protect you.
