Is there a procedure to positioning/aligning the engine/transmission when reinstalling back in the car? It seems like play in the mounting brackets and bolts allow for a wide variation in fore and aft positioning as well as skew. Is there an optimal fore/aft position? Should the bolts be tightened with the wheels on the ground and CV joint bolts tight? The reason I ask is that the sheetmetal connected at the engine/trans joint is about 2 inches into the engine compartment and the rubber seal does not go over it, i.e. there is a gap between the sheet metal piece and the seal. I just tightened up all of the bolts where they laid without attempting any alignment or positioning. Sorry no pictures.
Thanks, Jeff |
