Default Engine is in!

The engine is in, well mostly. All went well except for popping off a small berak line clip on the fire wall.

BUT!!!! (there's always a but isn't there )

Those lovely "old" new engine mounts don't work!!!!!

Basically, the main part of the rubber is 37mm thick whereas the "new" new engine mounts are 31mm thick. The effect is that the holes for the engine mounts don't line up. Sooooo, engine will stay on and I will change them out insitu for the other ones, one at a time. What a major PITA

Here are a couple of pic's
