IT ROCKS (new motor mounts)
I just turned the key this morning after pulling the engine on my 85 euro, rehabbing it, and replacing the engine. Wow the engine really likes to rock on new motor mounts.
It was quite a task doing it by myself, one hand on the engine one on the bar controlling the hoist. I cleaned the engine to the point where it competes with DR's euro. Too bad there is so much crap back on top of it now. I will try to post picks soon.
I would like to thank the members here who readily offered tips and knowledge when i posted questions (Bill Ball tops the list, sharkskin, dog, garth etc.) and especially to JB et al and Dave and Jeannie. Dave almost fell off his chair when i asked him a simple question and he expressed concern about the task ahead.
For all future noobs at engine removal this tip - I found that you
must push the tranny back as you CAN NOT push the engine forward. The top drivers side bell housing bolt is doable with a cut down socket and breaker bar.
Well time for
