I dread the day I have to align my engine.
It's mounted on two fiberglass rails, so the procedure I've come up
with is to loosen the 4 bolts holding it down and attach a come-a-long
to the lifting eye and raise it up a bit. Then I can move it a bit with
a pry bar or add a shim. Then I have to lower it down, tighten the
bolts, lay on the top of the engine, and feel how well the coupling
mates up with the output shaft.
What I'm thinking might help matters would be some device which
lets the engine be lifted straight up rather than having the back
end raise up before the front -- perhaps it would help in being able
to get the engine shifted into more or less the right position.
