Engine alignment
Can someone tell or do me a favor and take a measurement from the right strut tower on the side to the upper and lower intake mating surfaces?

Need to know if the engine is off set a little to the left, I just installed my engine and it doesnt look to straight.

I know I might be asking to much but how much offset is it?
And is it off to the left?

LOL, I didn't realize that until the longer 20B was installed in my car, which made it even more obvious. My friend and I were thinking WTF?

Sorry I did not clarified what year car I was asking about; it's for a 3rd generation car.
Is it also offset for the 2nd gen also?
