My mounts are brand new. Not sure if they are sagging but I want to
lift my engine slightly to get the spinner/cowl to line up
better.
The problem seems to be the engine mount itself.
Every 320/360 I have seen has a destinct low nose
condition, causing a break in the longitudal parting line running from spinner
to canopy.
My 360 has not flown yet and the mounts are brand
new. My line dropped as much as a whole inch,
which, as I recall it, translated to about 1.3 degree, so I had to space the
engine mount about 1/2" on the bottom bolts and 1/4" on the mid bolts in order
to raise the prop flange and get a straight line. This of course sets
off an avalanche of problems; now I have to relocate the nose gear pivot
pin and sequence valve in order to maintain the reqd. 8 deg. tilt on the nose
gear leg #€&%"!!!!!
