So I installed my new solid motor mounts in my fc Sunday and did not pay too much attention to where the motor sat before I installed them. After I put them in the motor appears to be angled slightly to the driver side. After looking at many pictures of 13bs in FCs they all seem to have a slight angle towards th driver side. Meaning the front of the engine seems to be closer to the drivers fender than the rear. I also noticed the oil pan, when lined up with the rac, you can see the angle of the motor due to the two straight surfaces. I have been a tech for Audi, vw, race car bs for ten years but this is my first big rotary build. So am I just seeing a funny angle when it's not there or is this normal? Pics to come, the motor is bare so it's easy to see. Thanks

Ps I am worried about drivetrain alignment and this is why I ask

 

normal even seen fds sit sideways i got the solid mounts and mine is crokked but runs drives good

 

I know for poly mounts if you don't tighten them at the same time they will end up uneven.

 

the engine is angled to the driver side of the car to aid in the ideal weight distribution throughout the car. look at a turbo hood sometime and you will also notice the intake duct is angled and offset to match this.

 

Thanks for the replies. I noticed that on the t2 hood I just figured it was because the intercooler was not square on the motor. Weight distribution makes sense though. On to the next step
