Another question thats buggin me, the engine is placed on the engine mounts, as it is supposed, but the engine is little bit too much to the left.. so the serpentine belt tensioner touches the side, not leaning but still touches. Is it a problem or just leave it be?

It shouldn't.
Something is moved during engine installation.

Yes, there should be like 5cm space to the side.
But the weird part is that the engine mounts are pretty strict, so when lowerin the engine back in, it should not be possible to go wrong.. if anywhere it should lean to right side where the weight is
