Situation: After a different engine was put in my C172M, the air intake and filter was recessed a bit, I recall a couple inches. There is no longer any kind of seal between the cowling and the intake/filter. Is this important? My AP/IA was not concerned. To help, I've attached a photo snipped from youtube from someone else's plane. Note the easy air passage around the filter
