Alignment questions .......(engine to gimbal) .......

[robgor]

1. When using the alignment tool, are the rear mounts torqued to spec. and all adjustments THEN done at the front mounts?

2. Haven't read of any side to side adjustment, but the clearances (sloppiness) in holes in the front mounts seem to allow for some movement. If the answer to 1. above is yes, assume this takes care of the lateral positioning?

Thanks in advance.

Ayuh,.... Welcome Aboard,... The answer to #1 is yes,...

#2, is if it's off, side to side, abit of shakin', or kickin' it usually gets it right,... though side to side is rarely off...

1. Yes, only the front are adjustable

2. No side adjustment. If off side to side the engine was installed wrong and wash pushed one side.
