So.... got the A4 back in the Alberg 30, but trying to align the couplings is proving very frustrating in the small engine space. ![Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)](https://www.moyermarineforum.com/forums/images/smilies/rolleyes.png)
It's a different A4 than came out. I have some pics showing the old engine's shims at the flywheel end, but no pics from the transmission end. I have the rubber pads on but that seems to raise it way too high for proper alignment at the tranny end. The previous engine even had aluminium shims which I haven't added yet since the rubber pads look too much!
1/ what size bolts and how long for mounting to the stringers ? Some were missing when I got the boat
2/ any simple tips or tricks to make this easier ?
3/ the 0.002 coupling tolerance- is this measured before bolting them together ?
