alignment issues Printed From: CorrectCraftFan.com Category: Repairs and Maintenance Forum Name: Engine Repair Forum Discription: Engine problems and solutions URL: http://www.CorrectCraftFan.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4033 Printed Date: November-27-2024 at 7:07am Topic: alignment issues Posted By: jimbo Subject: alignment issues Date Posted: July-01-2006 at 12:33pm I rebuilt the tranny a while back. I loosened the alignment bolts to help get the tranny out. I'm not sure I got it lined up propperly. I followed the feeler gauage 0.003 method but I don't see how that will tell me if I need to move the engine/tranny left/right/up/down. All I see that doing is telling me if the mounting surfaces are true or warpped. Am I missing something here? Also, I can't seem to find the torque specs for the four shaft/tranny coupling bolts and the main 1-1/8" vertical mounting nut. Does anybody know or know where to look it up? I figure 30 ft-lbs on the shaft bolts ought to be good. Replies: Posted By: 79nautique Date Posted: July-02-2006 at 1:29am little more torque than 30 ft lbs. 1-1/8" nut is a jam nut and does not effect the alignment. You have to turn the jack screw that the 1-1/8 nut is on. There is a square section on to of the jack screw that you turn to raise and lower the mounting point. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=756&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1979&yrend=1979 - 79 nautique
