Hi all. Just replaced the engine mounts in my Zenith 601 with jabiru 3300 engine. Cowling does not fit on new mounts. Engine is higher and shifted right compared to old mounts. Any know what alignment should be and how I can check alignment?

Suggest you ask these guys;

There's also a Jabiru forum here for such questions in the future.

I had a similar problem during the build.   Here is a link to my blog post Jabiru Engine Mount

In short I had the engine mounts stacked wrong.  The top and bottom are different and there are some inaccurate drawings in some of the instructions.  Just a thought.
