We where mocking up the fit after bolting the crossmember down.
I'd tweak the flanges on the tower ends to see if it's possible to get them 'closer' & let the mounting hardware cinch them into the final position. If the hardware doesn't seem stressed/forced @ that point, I'd be fine w/calling it good. Or, as stated, if needed slip some .250" material between as spacers. Worked fine in my application.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
