Long time follower, but haven't posted much.

I bought an Eagle a couple weeks ago and just noticed today in passing how out of alignment the cowl and spinner are. We did a multi-day pre-buy inspection on it, but we clearly missed this, although maybe it isn't obvious with the cowl off. My first thought was elastomeric engine mounts need to be replaced. The engine has 902TT, but the overall condition of the plane is terrific. Definitely doesn't appear to have been rode hard.

Before we have a get a chance to pull the cowl and take a look, any other thoughts?

Thanks
