Deegs, Per the notes in this Legacy Tech Tip and the 1948-51 Shop manual reference doesn't indicate a measurement after the engine weight is dropped onto the mount. Only measured before it becomes "loaded". I would expect there is going to be a reduction in your clearance now that the engine weight is resting on the mount. If it measured correctly at the beginning, you should be just fine. smile
