In my rebuild I am curious if there is suppose to be a gasket or rubber seal
between the cover and back plate?( #5 and # 7) on the diagram. I know I have the correct filter 1.81" tall
but It leaves a 1/4" -3/8" gap all around, Is that for Actual air intake or should it get all of its air thru the duct into the blower housing?

Look at this parts diagram #5 and # 7 It doesnt show anything
