 Posted: Tue May 30, 2006 8:47 am Post subject: Hanging my IO-320 - lower mount spacer |
 |
|
Has anyone else had this experience ?
I hung my engine this weekend - but I think it needs to come
off again. Vans supplies 2 large diameter AN7 washers in the
engine mount bolt kit that are to shim the forward faces of the
lower engine mounts off the engine so that the mount clears a
"step" in the engine casing. The "step" is the mounting flange
for the oil sump.
All's well on the right lower mount, but on the lower left its
as if the shim isn't thick enough, or more to the point, the
flange on the engine protrudes too much. Consequence is that
mount doesn't sit flush on the engine - its slightly at an
angle with the top part of the mount making contact and the
lower part interfering with the oil sump flange.
Is this a common problem or am I breaking new ground here  I
guess the obvious solution is to pull the engine and grind off
the flange on the oil sump mount. I'm more than a little
hesitant about doing surgery on my engine.

Gerry: I am speaking for my own which was a Dynafocal, engine mount
for a Lycoming 0320ED2 Engine...for an rv6a... Now if you have same engine
|
mount, you should not have to file anything down. I would not do that.
The LOrd Mounts? should fit perfectly with the correct washers. If I recall
they were the same for all four sides...I might be wrong...
I mounteds the engine, all by myself, with no human help...Did not wanted
to wait...
I was able to do it, and it was done correctly..it was a question or
patience, and engine was move to match the Eng. mount...It can be done.
Any questions, you can call me .
Hope I gave you some food for thought....
