Brief Description:  Engine installed

Previously I had hung the engine, but the vibration mounts and bolts that came with the engine weren't compatible for the Vans mount so it was loosely fitted. Since my FWF kit came in I have the hardware to get it on permenantly.
I used the article on VAF.net and it went ok. Using the order they say and making sure the vibration biscuits were oriented properly, the tops are arranged different from the bottoms, I did them one-by-one.The last one, the lower left, was a pain in the rear. I ended up making a tool to guide the bolt into the mount from a center drill (this flexes the rubber mount to allow the holes to line up -pic below. I don't have them torqued yet, but that's no biggee. I just hope there are no gotchas that cause me to have to take it back off....

First one was easy - they got progressively harder.

Last bolt hole not lined up. I made this pilot out of a center drill to get the bolt in (flex rubber)
