I pulled the harmonic balance today to install my front motor mount and noted this spacer (???) installed and preventing me from installing the motor mount bolts. Has anyone ever seen this before? I cannot tell for certain if it is welded in place. I need to scrape some of the paint away first. Thought I would ask about this before I go messing something up trying to remove it. Any help/advice will be appreciated. Oh, I did line up the motor mount from below and the bolt holes are correctly spaced so if this spacer was not here it would have gone together fairly quickly or at least that is what I keep telling myself. This is a rebuilt 235 going in my 53 3100. Best I can tell the motor was made in 1955, that is based on the numbers I noted on the engine block. Deegs
