Storm 0 Posted June 25, 2004 Trying to put the lump in and cant get the thing to line up when dropping on to the mounts. Is there a trick to this or am I being thick? Please dont say thick. :? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted June 25, 2004 VR6? Get the front mount in loosely then swivel it about on the hoist until the gearbox and rear mounts align. Can't really suggest anything else really. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Storm 0 Posted June 27, 2004 Cant believe it , went outside hooked the hoist up in a couple of minutes undone the rear engine mount. slid the engine around to get the gearbox bolt in. slid the engine over a little (gearbox bolt has a degree of adjustment) and the rear bolt drops in :D . About 4-5 minutes. Once again thanks Kev.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted June 28, 2004 No worries. Sometimes you just need to step back, have a coffee and try again and it all falls into place :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhatVR6 0 Posted June 28, 2004 I usually drop it on the rear mounts, then bolt up the front crossmember afterwards. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
