The plane has a built-in 2 degree firewall offset/angle to the right. If I center the engine on the firewall the engines thrust plate will not be centered at the front of the cowl. Theoretically it should be 2 degrees off center.

My question; is it ok to off-set the engine on the firewall to make the thrust plate centered in the cowl? This would slightly change the balance along the longitudinal axis but probably not very much.

Any opinions? Thanks.

PS; plane is a 26% CA Extra 330 with a DA 50.
