Nissan angles their motors mainly for oil drain back. BMW angles their motors to the right for packaging. The Chrysler Slant-6 was angled to the right for the same reason. To the right would make tq shock worse by your math.
Most engines can flip themselves over. TQ angling does little to counter act that load. It's mostly done for packaging and a little for oil draining.

hmm interesting points S14DB never thought about it that way. I was talking about the reason for the bolts being offset though. Maybe I have drawn a wrong conclusion here.
