There is an angular offset to the right in the stock mount but I did not
put
any offset in my engine mount. The offset is mainly to compensate for
P-factor during takeoff. About the only real world effect is to the
amount
of rudder needed to keep plane lined up during initial takeoff roll.

My plans for the RV-6A has the Center line of the engine/Thrust offset
to the right. Check out whether the reference you are looking out is
referenced to the rear of the engine rather than the front. I did put 5/8"
(measured at prop face plate) off set to the left in my mount, but not
certain it was necessary. Perhaps a little less left rudder on climb out.
