I'd like to help clarify AJ's 3rd point by saying that the exhaust should NOT be attached to the engine mount (unfortunately, I've seen several that are). There is a long brace that goes from the engine to the exhaust after the muffler. The only parts to be touching the airframe to the engine are the 4 engine mounts, the wiring/cabling/hosing, and soft baffling. - Jason ________________________________ From: AJ DeMarzo [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 29, 2007 3:10 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [COUPERS-TECH] engine help ----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]---- I need to agree with the majority on this one. #1 Get that god forsaken spacer out from behind the prop before it flies apart and kills somebody, ASAP! Do you realize that the entire prop is now flexing more than it was designed to? #2, if the nose bowl is far from the front right cylinder, it's mounted too far away. Why? Check the engine mounts and replace them as necessary with the correct ones. #3, anything that is bolted to the airframe may cause a vibration, including the exhaust system, so check that. You may want to go to a real prop man who can tell you if it's the engine or the prop or a frame issue after he connects his machine to it. #4 after those have been cleared then you may go on to the engine. Lastly, find a mechanic who has half a brain about these things! ============================================================================== To leave this forum go to: http://ercoupers.com/lists.htm
