"We are trying to have a plan
"We are trying to have a plan of attack ready so when the engien is placed back into the hull, It SORT OF LOOKS LIKE we know a little bit about what we are trying to do !
Picture this. When removed, the engine was lifted up and wiggled a bit to drive out (1) 6" x 1/2" bolt that was a little resistant but it came out without a hitch.
This engine is shimmed at the flywheel end with a 3/8" shim and at the water pump end with 2 1/2 inches of shim material.
When placing it back in, it will be hanging form the lift, motor mounts are still on it and before the weight comes to rest on it, I will need to insure that the shims are in place, the 6" bolts are in place and the 1/2" holes that receive all of this are lined up....
It does not appear to be a drop in task in my daydream.
WHAT is the best procedure for getting all of this in place? Should the motor mounts be removed?
