wasn,t sure which section to put this in but here,s my question......
where have you positioned the engine mounts for a 1.8CVH ?
installing engine into chassis today, gearbox already in, when i positioned the engine in & mated upto the gearbox i found i needed to move the gearbox forward by 15mm, not a prob...... so then started looking at height of everything, got it more or less spot on, even put nose & bonnet on to check clearence, i now have 5inches clearence from floor to sump, 4 inches from floor to bottom of bellhousing, is this about right?
i have found that i can use the original sierra rubber mounts as follows, near side as normal, offside, if i turn the ali sierra engine mount upside down & bolt into the block with only 2 bolts i can still fit the original rubber mount in place without fouling the steering column.
my question is this..........is it ok to just have 2 bolts bolted into the block instead of 3?
does the height clearence sound about right?
the forward edge of the crank pully is 95mm back from BR7.
all seems to fit ok, just want your advice/opinions before i weld the engine mounts into position.
thanks in advance.
