REFLECTOR: IO 360C1C installed in a std elite rg

[dean fitzbag]

When I had the same problem, the factory told me to slightly rotate the engine.  I will fit that way, though it is  a close fit.

  I am in the process of hanging the engine and have a two spots  where the cowling is in contact with the engine.
  The number one intake pipe is just barely touching the lower cowl and the plenum box  above # 1 cylinder is contacting the upper cowl.
  I spoke with Scott Baker at the factory the other day and he said to expect some contact on this engine and to put a bulge in the cowl. Anyone out there with an IO360C1C  in a standard elite that would have a comment? 
  The engine is horizontally level. Number two intake is being modified so that should not be a problem.
  Thanks for any help you may give
                                                   Jack Hayes
