Brief Description:  Correcting Bottom Mount Washers

After some research determined I needed to install the large washers supplied in the Vans kit on the forward side of the lord mounts on the bottom of the engine mount. Somehow i erroneously got the idea these washers were only installed after the engine sagged a bit, but later learned/realized they need to be installed now.

So, connected the engine host, loosened the top bolts, and the bottom bolts and lifted the engine just enough to slide the large washer between the engine and the lord mount, re-installed the bolts.

Re-torqued the bolts, top and bottom to the engine mount.

I have little doubt I could install another engine in about 30-45 minutes at this point, I think I have installed this one three times by now.
