I have an IO-540-C4B5 which has the large mounting holes. Has anyone considered using different "Lord" mounts for the large mounting holes vs changing the mounts on the engine to the D4A5 configuration.
I have looked and I can purchase the "Lord" mounts for the Piper Aztec.
Or should I just go ahead and replace the C4B5 mounts with the "Correct" ones?
Just curious, I don't know a lot about the "lord" mounts.

Jim,
Been there, done that - won't work. The large mounts are at a different
angle (not the same dynafocal angle), so it won't work with Van's engine
mount. You have to get the correct mounting ears and the rubber mounts
specified by Van or build another engine mount.

Ahhh.....
Thanks, I had not considered the different angles.
I will get the different engine mounts.
Thanks, Jim C

You should have seem my face when I tried to mount the Aztec engine on N256H
with the wrong ears. Man, it got close, and I had never mounted an engine
before, so I couldn't figure out what the problem was, until I realized that
something had to be wrong because the Lord mounts didn't fit and the angle
seemed to be wrong. I think that's when the engine mount ear issue first
came to the list. I went into scramble mode and found a used set of ears.
330 hours later and they seem to be holding up just fine.

A question along the same line...
I've seen many times on this list that we need the small mounting ears
on an (I)O-540 to fit the Van's mount. Can anyone tell me the diameter
of the holes on the small mounting ears? I've got a O-540-A1D5 from an
Aztec, that I assumed to have the large mounting ears. I then bought a
set of mounting ears on ebay that were described as the small hole ears.
When I received them, I found them to have the same size hole as the
ones I already have on the engine (I believe the diameter is about
1.40"). What is the correct hole size to fit the RV-10 mounts?

The large holes are 2" in diameter, so it appears that you now have 2 sets
of the right mounts. How much did you pay on Ebay and do they have a yellow
tag or some other verification that they are good?

I paid $237 for the set. There is no paperwork with them, but the parts
look good. If I were to use them, I would probably run a dye-penetrant
inspection on them to make sure they were not cracked. Before I sell
them I need to verify the diameter of the holes, since I'm running off
of memory.
