Brief Description:  Engine Prep for Mountng

Prepped the ending for mounting to the firewall. The steps included:

1. Attaching the rubber anti-vibration pads to the four mount points on the engine mount.
2. Removing the sidewalls from the engine crate leaving the engine fully open and resting on the floor of the crate.
3. Securing the engine to the crate floor using ratchet straps.
4. Sliding a borrowed motorcycle lift under the crate floor by levering up the crate floor (with engine strapped to it) onto wood blocks to elevate it a few inches.
5. Cranking the engine up high enough to be able to attach the engine mount.
6. Attaching the engine mount points to the engine using hex bolts through the mount point, 2 x rubber anti-vibration pads per mount and a shaped washer to secure the rubber pads.
7. Torquing the engine mount points to spec.

Awaiting the engine mount team for the "big lift."
