Align the mark on both
mounts with the center
mark on the fire-wall
Securely attach the engine mount to the
fire-wall using the four 4x25mm screws.
Position the engine on the engine mount beams so the
distance from the prop hubto the fire-wall is 102mm/(4”).
Using a pencil, mark th engine mounting plate where
the four holes are to be drilled. Note: Mark the mounting
plate through the engine mounting flanges.
Trim the cowling for
engine and muffler.
Then, position the
cowling in place.

Reposition the engine on the mounting
beams, aligning it with the holes drilled
in Step 3. Insert one 3x25mm screw through
each of the mounting holes. Apply Silicon
to each of the 3x25mm screws and firmly
secure the engine to the motor mount using
four 3mm nut.
Set the engine on the
engine mounting beams.
Adjust the spacing of
the beams so they are
centered in relation to
the mounting plate and so they are
almost touching both sides of the
engine crankcase.
