[rebel-builders] dynafocal engine mounts-side load??
Posted: Sun Feb 19, 2012 8:06 pm
Mine didn't pull together straight until they were starting to get pretty snug. There's some movement in the mount arms which helps when bolting it all together. I don't think I could have gotten the eng on the mount while it was still on the firewall. Your mounts are different than mine. Even though I'm using the 0360, I thought I'd seen builders on the site with an 0320 who used the same ones I did..they were Lords but the # was something with a 150 in it. Also, mount bolts are 11/16", not 5/8". The pilot side upper bolt was a real B**#@@@!! Good Luck! Craig

I'm hanging the engine tomorrow, and I decided to take the mount off the firewall to see how it's going to line up. Glad I did because it would be a real bear to get the engine in the mount with it on the firewall. I did manage to get all the bolts through the mounts and engine case, with some force. I haven't tightened them yet because I don't have a 5/8 box wrench which will hopefully fit into all the tight places it will need to go to get on the nuts. Anyway, with everything in place there is significant side loading on all 4 of the rubber mounts (I have Lord J-7402-24) displacing the rubber maybe 3/16 to 1/4" per mount. Hopefully this will decrease some after torquing because as the mount rings get closer to the engine case the alignment improves. I sure don't think much of that side load will disappear though. It doesn't seem right to me. Has anyone else experienced this?
Thanks.
Jesse
