After spending something like 2 hours trying to figure out how to level the plane, now it was time to check the level of the engine.

I first set the magnetic angle finder on the #4 cylinder rocker cover.

Then #2 rocker

Then #3 rocker

Then #1 rocker.

For all practical purposes, the engine appeared to be aligned with the airframe.  Mind you, I have 2 spacers on each of the top two engine mounts.  Looking closely, the engine does appear to be negative thrust angle by less than 1/2 degree.  The resolution is not great.  I would have to say the needle was just a shade toward 1/2 degree down on all 4 rocker covers.

You draw your own conclusions.
