How close can the engine be to the tubes of the mount? The distance between the oil
pan and the closest mount tube appears to be 0.571 inches in the Rhino FWF 3D.
Is the a safe distance given that the engine is going to move relative to the mount?

Move the diagonals under the oil pan down an inch or two and tilt the rad
down a bit to clear. The nose gear socket has lots of bending strength
which can be exploited.

The movement of the engine down however is limited
to the combined rubber deflection in the two rubber rod ends.
My guess 3/8th of an inch max total.
