The result is a 7mm gap at the chassis rail. (see photos) I have not yet ascertained whether this has made the car any quieter but I think it will allow more flex in the engine on its  mountings rather than in the crankcase. It is a 3 bearing engine, so should give more compliance with the lore that a rigidly fixed engine is a bad thing.
