I reassembled the cowls and checked from underneath to see how well the foam I applied yesterday worked to fill in the excessive space in the keel area. Generally pretty good, it needs a little more along the edges and a little less in the middle, so I think this will work out well. but it is getting a little bit tedious, so I decided to spend some time on the engine cylinder baffling. I took a bunch of measurements, and started a template of what the aft bulkhead of the pressure plenum is going to have to look like. I'm going to set up a "category" for this baffling work, because I can see it is going to be a significant time sink. Just the aft bulkhead is going to be a real headache, because it will need to be penetrated by the intake manifold, some of the ignition coils, and the blast tubes for the alternator. And the clearances for getting cylinder baffles in place are really tight, so that is going to take a lot of time too.
