May 23, 2007 - Engine Mount Drilled |
||||||
I had previously drilled the upper right hand corner. I bolted
and mount on, using duct tape to hold the left side up. Then I
drilled the upper left hand corner. I was worried about the drilling
because the first hole had been such a bear. But using the engine
mount as a drill guide made a huge difference. I drilled using my
11/32 bit. I followed that up with the 3/8" reamer.
I liked using reamers for the large holes -- 1/4, 5/16 and 3/8 -- because I think they make a tighter, rounder hole that a regular bit does. |

I bolted the upper left corner, then drilled the two bottom center
holes.

I finished up by drilling the bottom corner holes. I was pleased
with how the engine mount holes came out. All the holes are
positioned perfectly and the bolts fit snugly.
