Engine Upper Mount

This is a not so simple of a thing to do.

When your done it should fit the frame without having any of the mounting ears in a bind, in other words, full contact between the frame and the mount. Take note it goes lower in the back than it does in the front.

While was at John Spurling's place
John had me change the rubber in the upper engine mounting cup
to the type used in making the exhaust pipe mounting straps.

Seems some ship are having the RotorWay factory provided rubber piece fail and fall out suddenly adding close to a quarter inch of slop in the engine.

That makes the belts tighten and loosen as the engine powers up and down plus I'm sure causes a few other problems aside from the obvious metal to metal contact from the cup and the bearing contacting.  Simple thing is to just change it and be done with it.

See the Accessories, Add Ons and Mods section for more information on this.
