Engine mount alignment????

[Brealbags]

Just put the engine in finally and wondered if the mounts need setting up properly? It fits in fine not driven it on the road yet tho.

[Coops]

well technically yes, theres a special tool, but tbh just make sure clearances in all the tight areas look okay and be reet, i've never done it properly and doubt many have on here tbh

i just line it up with the marks left by the nuts/bolts. aslong as nothing fouls it will be fine.

yeah but i repainted the mountings so no marks left lol

:D what i said wont work then lol, so long as nothing hits anywhere it should be fine tbh!

Exactly what I did.

Can take a bit of juggling about to line the bolts up, but just jack the engine up and down and get it right by pulling the engine forward by hand if necessary.

Have a look at a few engine bay pics and get the rough idea of where they should be.

front pulley needs to clear the chassis leg...by about 25mm iirc..
