I have 13mm spacers on my mounts and there is still plenty of room between the engine and bonnet.

I didn't want to go any higher than this due to the prop angle.

Make sure you consider coolant hoses and pas lines as you lift the engine to install the spacers, I managed to pull the hose of the Pas reservoir and ended up with alot of fluid on the floor.
