Engine
Mounts
and Belt
Clearance
Another
objective
I had
while
the
engine
was out
was to
install
new
engine
mounts...........and
to
position
the
engine
on the
new
mounts
so that
I could
remove
and
install
and a
fan belt
if
necessary.
Thank
God I've
never
had a
fan belt
problem
as there
was no
way it
would
fit past
the
steering
rack and
the
cross
brace.
With the
new
mounts I
was able
to gain
belt
clearance
by
paying
attention
to the
little
bit of
"adjustment"
there is
with
them. As
the
mounts
wear and
soften I
may lose
what
little
room
I've
gained
so "time
will
tell".
The arrows show the only areas where you can pick up a little room when you bolt them on. |

Now there's plenty of room to get the belt out and back on. |
