I am building a 9A. I purchased a Lycoming 0-320 B2C from Aerosport Power. I purchased the special mounting weldment for the non-conical mount from Vans's. I also purchased the Lord mounting pillows/hardware from Van's.
Yesterday I mounted the engine and discovered in interference problem at the top left mount. The bolt head is VERY close to the pushrod tube, and I am afraid that when the engine is run they will impact each other.
I have attached 3 photos to show you the problem.
Is there a fix for this? Different mounting hardware/pillows? A different engine?
Thanks,
Duane Wilson
