    Hi all, I’m doing an engine swap and I’m running into a little concern. It’s my first time doing a swap and I didn’t realize just how much my rubber isolators would compress. Would you guys be concerned about 3/16 or 1/4 inch of clearance between the oil pan and steering rack fitting?

    I don’t plan on ever jumping the truck or doing any hard core trails with this rig, just overlanding stuff and a little towing.
    I can take the engine back out and raise the mounting surface but if you guys think it should be fine I’d rather not do all that work again if I don’t have too.
    The engine mounts are 7 years old if that makes a difference.

    ^If you brake-torque the vehicle, the engine will often shift more than 3/16", so that looks too close.
