Greetings All,
I have been lurking for a long time and have benefitted greatly from this forum. Thanks to everyone who has contributed information in the past. This forum has been the best money spent on my project.
I have my brother in from out of state to help me finally hang the engine this weekend. However we have run into a problem that we can?t figure out. So, I am looking for some help from the brain trust regarding install of the BPE-IO540 in my RV-10. It has the cold air induction.
When the engine is in place with the Lord mounts installed, the back of the engine is resting firmly on the bottom cross member of the engine mount. Also, the the Lord mounts look like they are distorted upward. This leads me to believe that the engine is displaced upward because of the mount cross brace.
It looks like I need to have a different geometry for the cross brace in order for the mount to clear the engine. But I know that others have used
Has anyone run into this problem?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
