Engine mount gap
All,
I am helping my mechanic install my overhauled engine. We are installing the vibration isolators. There is a gap between the engine mount welded on washer and the vibration isolators. Is this a normal thing on maules or do I have something wrong? BTW it is a1981 M6-235.

They definitely look bent either by previous damage or during the welding process. I went back and looked at my pictures during my overhaul process and my mount flanges are all flat with no space.
Closest pics I have before the mount was redone.

Engine mount gap
All,
Thanks for the help. After talking with my mechanic some more we decided to fix it like Riverbuggy mentioned. It was involved in an incident. It was a low speed, low power, taxi incident. It should not have caused this damage. Everything in the engine was checked and was fine. Freedom, I did blast it in a cabinet with glass bead.
