It's not easy to measure the up or down as the four mounting points are not consistent however it looks to me that our engine mount actually has a small amount of nose up inclination. Guess also the up or down and for that matter the left or right, depends on the firewall being installed on spec... Reading Martin Hollman's books and in particular "Boggie with a Turbine" he writes the engine should be pointed 0.5 degrees to the right and in the line of flight ie 0' up/down. ciao Roberto d'Italia.
