Hi Sylvain the tabs you ground off are called Sprue's and yes serve no purpose once casting is complete.....you will not really know whether your clearance is enough until firing up the engine to see if it torque rocks, I know mine has less clearance on one side but does not touch or vibrate, if yours does "rock" a lot you could upgrade the engine mounts to stiffer ones, I know the land rover ones are very stiff....I think it looks ok from what I can see.....good to have you back on the forum by the way.
