Re: Motor sits crooked!

I was talking with my brother and we had another theory. Did you bolt the mounts to the engine, then lower the engine in? or did you lower the engine in, then try to secure it to the mounts?

When we put my engine in, there was a certain amount of "spread" or "settle" that the mounts went through as the engine was lowered into the bay onto the perches and crossmember (66 w 71 xmember). If we had started the threat the bolts, or secure the mounts before the engine settled into the crossmember, I could see a chance there could be an issue like this. I can try to explain in more detail if that doesn't make sense.
