Engine alignment E model

[Dingo]

G’day From Down under

Can anyone tell me what the correct engine alignment for a 1965 E model is? I had a guy tell me a few days ago that my engine is hanging low and requires shimming at the engine mounts to realign the engine, anyone know the correct way to check and measure, also keen to work out the procedure for checking the rigging. Not to many Mooneys this side of the world so lames with the know are spread thin

As the engine mounts wear the engine will sag down. You will notice this on the spinner back side alignment in relation to the cowling opening. To align the engine add washers to the engine mount to bring the spinner centered with the cowling opening. A bad sagging condition is an indication of worn out engine mounts.

Mine's sagging too. We're going to deal with it at annual this month. From Maxwell's article, sounds like I need 1/8" shims in the bottom.
