This has to be one of the nicest Arf's I've built. I'm to the point of installing the engine, I'm putting in a Super Tigre .90, side mounted. But on the firewall, where the thrust lines are indicated for the installation of the motor mount. My mount will touch the top of the cowl, if it is put according to plans. I'm wondering if there would be any problem, installing the motor mount 1/4" below it's specified point? I just need to lower it a bit, so the mount does not rub a hole in the cowl. Anyone else have this problem? what are my options?

I put an asp 91 in mine and it was tight on top (side mounted)very tight. the crank shaft center line has to be thru cowl center line and graphics line up. it was tough to get . btw I used in cowl muffler. I agree nice plane for arf. No flights yet. but maybe soon after engine break in. good luck.
