Had someone call my attention to what looks like  the engine sagging about 1/4" to maybe a little more. (spinner not aligned with  the cowel circle) Cant say I remmber if it ever ws aligned completly. Anyway had  a sugesstion to get new mounts, particulary special made for aerobatics that are  stiffer. Haent pulled cowel yet. Anolther 6A friend told me he had taken washers  and cut a slot to slip them into the mounts which raised the front to make  spinner even with cowel circle. Anyone delt with this and what do you suggest?  Charlie H

A pretty typical problem with RV's...  I have aerobatic mounts on my -4 and had the same problem.  I installed washers between the engine and lower engine mounts on mine to fix the issue, others I believe have shimmed up the engine mount to firewall.  Probably check the archives on this one, should be lots of info.
