Engine dismount -> toe change?

I've dismounted the engine with suspension/frame etc. by the end of last year. Before this procedure I had a total toe-in of 3 mm in the rear, today I've measured a total toe of zero. Nothing has changed in between and the car was sitting in the garage during winter. Is this possible/normal?
 
I think when removing the engine the body is lighter and higher off the ground. That involves a change in camber, and therefore a change in horizontal angle of the toe-arm too. In the case of the nsx that would be less toe. Right ? Anyone ? Supposing the engine is still out of the car i.e.
In case it is mounted again I guess the suspension had no chance to settle back to normal again and you still have to take it out for a few test drives. Maybe then measure the toe again ...
