Default Is this too tight of an engine install ?

I moved my engine forward on my MB339 to save some on the nose weight needed to balance ... Right now the forward part of the engine sits right between the two saddle tanks, which are lined with thick heat blanket. Will this be ok ? i dont believe the forward end of the can gets super super hot ... can i get away with this or is it too close ?
