4. Position engine on engine bed so that transmission output flange and propeller shaft
coupler are visibly aligned (no gap can be seen between coupling faces when butted
together). Adjust engine height if necessary to obtain proper alignment. DO NOT use
mount adjustments to adjust engine position at this time.
IMPORTANT: Engine bed must position engine so that a minimum of 1/4 in. (6 mm)
up and down adjustment still exists on all 4 mounts after performing initial alignment.
This is necessary to allow for final engine alignment.

with 3/8 in. (10 mm) diameter lag bolts (of sufficient length) and flat washers. Tighten
