Un-crating and mounting the engine was an exciting moment. It seemed like such a big accomplishment. The truth of the matter; it was one of the easiest procedures so far. The time flew by. |

Here's the engine in it's packing crate. |
 |
| Here's the engine on the staging table. Oh yea, that crazey looking guy hugging the engine is me. |  |
As usual we only use the most sophisticated tools. Check out the alt. picture. You will see the hole drilled in the top of the 4x4 to clear the plug on the bottom of the engine. |
 |
| We made two shims to use in aligning the engine drive pulley with the secondary drive pulley. We wound up only using one shim to lower the engine .0050". |  |
| Here you can see the engine aligned and level ( 0.0 degrees). |  |
| Me fitting the shim in the lower engine mount. You will notice the yellow nylon straps we used to support the engine while the lower engine mount was removed. |  |
The final touch. Then Chip and I celebrate! |
 |
| We just stood there and stared. No words. |  |
