Default Re: Engine sits too high for hand crank engagement

The front of the engine sits too high for the hand crank to engage the nut. When you look through the hole in the bottom of the radiator shell it appears the engine is about 1/4" too high. It appears to have the original style front mount. Has anyone else had this problem or have any ideas of what could be wrong? TIA.
Razkid, keep us in the loop about the wind-up of this journey, as this condition appears periodically on this site.
