				Right side pipe sits too low
			 
			 
			
		
		
		
		While working on SP1352 (351 engine),  I noticed that the right (passenger) side pipe sits too low in the opening and that the bodywork already shows a small crack. 
 
After reading up on it, I learned that this seems to be a common issue and can be solved by adding a few shims under the right engine mount. 
 
So I planned to do that today. 
 
But on removing the side pipe, I discovered there was already a (very crude) 3/8" spacer on the flange and 3 shims (total stack height approx. 5/16") under the engine mount. 
 
Should I install a spacer wedge on the flange? 
 
Can I raise the engine further with another shim?  
 
Are there any problems  / risks, for example can I tilt it too far? 
 
Thanks!
