The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Engine Shop Need cooling fan selection advice...

Hi Deve,

With a little poking around I find that my front engine mount is not the is steel box and rubber mechanism as highlighted in Don2sea's 235 engine photo (https://picasaweb.google.com/down2sea/FrontMotorMountAssy#5084215542431577634). My mount seems to be just a plain block of rubber bolted from the engine bracket to the frame. I assume this is allowing movement.

Somewhere I read that I could also use a stock 216 front mount and not a 235 mount. I'll start looking for what those are and if mine is different. I'll also check all the engine mounts with a wrench.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge with me :-)

Doug
