    Canting the engine like that actually helps promote better engine oil drain back to the oil pan. Rally and drag racing has been doing it for a very long time. It helps the oil run down the sides of the block inside and keeps oil out of the crankshafts way. Keeps it from aerating the oil in the crankcase and reduces rotational drag while the engine is running.

      In the Mazda it should actually give you more exhaust clearance.

    Never,! ever,! ever,! start a bolt with a power driver, always, I mean always!!! Start them by hand first! Also don't wind the adaptor plate bolts in u til the plate is fully seated over the dowels! If the dowels bottom out before the plate is flush it will buckle and you can throw it away, all this advice from a mechanic that did a 10.000 hour apprenticeship to learn his trade, and that was 50 years ago
