After much reading I had hoped and expected hanging my engine would be more enjoyable an quick than it has been.
At first I thought "there is no way these holes will line up". We spend a good 4 hours yesterday, and at 11:30 pm...we called it a night with the last bolt still not lining up correctly and no gleamer of hope. With much brute force and leverage we somehow got 3 bolts in, (although two of the them will have to come again)...
With my fustration, I decided to rest and go back to the plans and documents before proceeding. In doing so I now realize that 2 of the 4 bolts are longer and need to go one the bottom and I now realize that I initially have put all the mounts on the same direction, which is wrong...I have the top on correctly and bottom backwards. Hard vs soft, soft vs hard
So this afternoon, I plan to remove the one bottom bolt and flip the bottom mounts so the hard mount is on the inside and put the washer there too...
Also, I realize that the bottom mounts' washer goes on the inside (between the engine and mount), it doesn't look like there is a big washer on the outside too though, although that seems odd to me....is that part correct.??
I shall overcome this...
