Concern about engine alignment.

Ever since I broke the front engine mounting points and started using clamps, the engine has tilted to the right a little bit. My redneck mount seems pretty solid, just the motor is tilted a good 2-3 inches to the right. The chain is pretty aligned, and the bike seems to run and drive well. My only concern is if it will keep tilting and I will have to redo it. Give me your opinions.

with motor tight and chain run working well, I'd leave it alone - if it starts to move, then it will need fixing
 
i have a freind that broke the cases at the mounts.chunks broke off,he fixed it with jb weld.works pretty good so far,but thats not my idea
 
if you're feeling adventurous, you could replace the two front case bolts with high-grade, longer studs - then put nuts on the studs to tighten case halves together, while leaving room to fasten a piece of angle iron to the rest of the studs - this might give you enough attachment strength to hold it onto frame
