Some tips on the motor mounts when installing the engine...

1.  The AC Service manual says to install the lower coolant hose to the water pump before bolting in the motor mounts.  Do it!  The front Mag side mount is in the way.  While it is possible to slip it on afterwards, it would be easier with the mount pushed out of the way.

2. When I put the engine in, I installed the bolts in both front mounts, and the rear mag side mount. Unfortunately the PTO rear bolt hole would not line up.  I had to remove the engine bolts from the front PTO side mount and loose then rest to get it lined up.

3.  Likewise for the bottom bolt of the rear mag side mount, loosen the bolts on all the mounts, and remove the engine bolts from the from mag side mount, to allow alignment for this bolt.
