Brief Description:  Third Iteration of Trimming Top Bulkhead Edges

Once I had the front bulkheads marked again it was time to repeat everything - remove the lower cowl, remove the two front corner baffle assemblies, trim the top edges of the front bulkheads, debur, and then reinstall everything again to check the fit. Hopefully that was the last iteration for the rough-trimming. Once the top cowl fits again, I'll have to do one more iteration all the way around to make sure there is a 3/8" to 1/2" gap between the top edges of the baffles and the cowl to provide enough clearance from the cowl but not too much that I won't get a good seal. I'll use the paperclip trick to make those final trimming adjustments. Right now I just want to get the top cowl to fit again so I can go back and finish up the remounting of the oil cooler low enough on the aft left corner baffle to not rub on the upper cowl but high enough to get good airflow through the oil cooler without being blocked by the cylinders.
