Re: Alignment tool borrow
Thanks for the quick reply!!
Additional question on motor mounts bolt assembly.... I just had my '95 3.0 rebuilt and install last week. I blew the coupler at the end of our week long vacation. Suspect alignment issue. What I questioning is if I have put the bolts/washers back on correctly. I looked at the bolt and used the different shades of where on the bolt to figure out what I thought was correct. However, since I have blown the coupler, I suspect maybe that was the issue.
This is how I have put the bolt assembly together starting from the top of the bolt and working down:
aluminum washer (about 1/2" thick)
aluminum flat washer (about 1/8" thick)
fiber washer
double coiled lock washer
Engine bell housing
Gimbal/Transom mount
aluminum nut
Is this correct or did I inadvertently miss-align my motor by assembling incorrectly (and blow my coupler)? (I didn't change the front mount at all, so I didn't think I needed to to realign anything).
Looking from the rear (without using an alignment tool) it looks like the rear of the engine should be up a bit (or the front dropped).
Here's a picture from the top:
