It's annual time once again. This years main squawk is the engine mounts. Observing the aircraft with he engine cowl in place it appears that the prop spinner is closer to the cowling at the bottom than the top which makes me suspect that the engine mounts are bad or beginning to fail or at minimum not up to par. Log books do not show replacement at last overhaul but this could be just an error of omittance.

I am wondering if there is a specification of the angle of the engine with respect to the level line of the aircraft. I know the engine is mounted with a slight yaw to compensate for P torque but am not familiar with the pitch angle with regards to the AC centerline.

Thank you for your comments in advance.
