WHEN THIS BULKHEAD IS BOLTED TO THE CORRESPONDING BULKHEAD FOR THE REAR COWLING ASSY, A SEAL INCORPORATED IN THE COWL ASSEMBLY. FLAT ACROSS THE SEAM BETWEEN BULKHEADS. IN THIS INSTANCE, HOWEVER THE SEAL HAD CURLED OVER AND BECOME TRAPPED BETWEEN THE BULKHEADS FORMING AN EMPTY SPACE APPROXIMATELY .050 BETWEEN ADJOINING SURFACES SO WHEN THE BOLTS WERE TORQUED IT SET UP LOCALIZED STRESS AT THE BOLT HOLES AND CAUSING THEM TO CRACK.
