I accidently mounted the engine crooked on my firewall. How will this effect flight and do i need to change it? It's the same distance away from the vertical line.

Chad your picture is not very clear. By crooked are you saying that the motor is not at the 12 O'clock position but at the 1 O'clock position? If that is the issue its a non-issue. We often twist the head to be where it will do the most good, most often its at the 9 O'clock position or the 12 but it can be at other positions.
If you are talking about 2% right offset then the motor should be mounted a little to the right side of the firewall so that the prop is in the center of the fuse.
Best thing to do is just go fly. See if you like the way it is now. You can always change it a little later.
hope this helps some
