Hello All,
I am installing an air conditioning pump on the port fwd side of IO 390 on RV7. I have the dilemma of partially obstructing the port cooling air intake and having a leaky plenum owing to belt path, or to rotate the pump downward on its mount and into the lower cowl.
My gut tells me that ensuring proper plenum sealing and airflow path is more critical than maintaining the stock cowl profile, but I am always interested in more learned opinions.
Anyone have an opinion on the consequences of creating a 'more full' shape on the front of the lower cowl?
