Mike:
My cowl is just like this probably 1/3 to 1/2 overlap. No problem, most
of my gill vents are blocked off on purpose. I don't want a bunch of air
blowing out over the top of the engine and out those gills. The air needs
to go down over the cylinders. So basically my last gill slot is ground
away where there is interference with the overlap, the air exits here and
the second to the last gill slot is open all the way. The rest have not
been opened up. You look into the last slot and mostly what you see is
the the overlap area. In my case I consider it a non issue.
