Default quick question about engine offset



this is my first rc plane build. I'm using 4-40 screws, washers, lock washes and blind nuts for the engine mount into the firewall. Is there a rule of thumb as to how much engine offset you get per washer placed between the engine mount and firewall? With such small angles, 1-2 degrees, there's a significant potential for errors in measuring.</p>
