Is it normal in an H2B Ek for the engine to sit slightly crooked?

Default Is it normal in an H2B Ek for the engine to sit slightly crooked?

This is probably in the FAQ thread but it's too massive and pwns my ***** slow connection.

Is it normal for the engine not too sit parallel in the engine bay of an EK when using an EVoH2B kit and billet mounts?
Mine dropped straight in and lined up on the mounts easy as but standing looking at the engine the right hand side is closer to the slam panel than the left hand side.
Is this normal?
I cant see how it could be fixed as there is not enough play in the mounts to get that much misalignment out.
Its like a 1/2" difference from one side of the valve cover to the other and the axel/CV angle is not symmetrical either.

Have i ****ed something up or is it ok?

Hmmn, its going to be one of those things which will always **** me off, might try to find a way to remedy it.
Maybe the car they used to make the 1st prototype was crash damaged or somthing?

Default EG

I used to have the same kit in an EG. I had no problems like this. Are the tranny mount bolt holes oblong for adjustment? Doesnt seem right, id call evo.
