I set mine that high and after 65 hrs it is still at the same height, too high. I would set it flush with the top of the cowl.

This is a curiousity I've seen hashed over here and wondered about for a long time- how about a "do not archive" poll of builders who have actually seen engine sag or not, with perhaps some added info about engine type, c/s or f/p, hours, flying style etc.?

Van may not have always sold the same engine mounts, so the mount
manufacturer and part number are also relevant info.
