It used to have about 3/4" or so np, but since I recond the turbo and hiflowed
it and put a bleed valve on for 10psi its got "A liitle close" gradually over
the last 4 years ...
I think the body might have twisted, happens to organics as well I guess

They look fine, its strange because the other side is a bit tight too, its
as if the whole engine is slightly lower down in the engine bay, which makes no sense, might get a pic later on. On second though I wonder if both
engine mounts have just shrunk equally <guh> lol !

Hmm cant u get a leaver in there and see if theres any movment in either of the engine mounts?
Having no clearance would course major problems on and off torque
