Easy question:



Is it posible without too much effort to mount the engine without using the taperred cylindrical bolt substitutes?

Getting ready to rent an engine hoist and can see not being able o get the engine mounted unless I have these in my bag of tricks.

Thanks

Hey John,

  

 Our engine aligned very easily just using the final  bolts.  I use an engine leveler between the hoist and the engine to get the  angle just right.  I did find that typically three of the four went in with  no problem, the the fourth took some jiggling.  Eventually we found which  three made the fourth easier.  With the engine leveler set, and the pattern  followed, we can put it on and take it off with ease.

  

 Later, - Lew

I don't know what they rent for, but these days they go for about $130

at Pep Boys, etc.

I had the same positive experience, only used the final bolts on two airplanes.  A little jiggling and head scratching to get things lined up right but certainly doable.

I used the final mounting bolts.   Very easy.   Just don't try it with 

the prop on it.

I used the 2 ton harbor freight hoist for <130$ on sale plus the load 

leveler.  Their smaller hoist would work too.  You know you have the 

right setup when you get  this kind of warning (see photo).  I too would 

suggest buying one if feasible.  The HF hoist folds up to take very 

little horizontal space.  It's great for mounting/demounting the prop 

and avoiding another rental. 

I left the engine suspended (with safeties) for about 6 months at one 

point.  That appeared to damage the jack and had to replace it for a few 

more $$$.  So rentals can make sense.

John,I mounted my engine by myself in about 20 minutes.  No need for any special bolts.
