I think the body might have twisted, happens to organics as well I guess Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

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 !

Having no clearance would course major problems on and off torque
