That's interesting...I'll do that check. I recently installed the float-a-motor engine mounts to correct a half-inch misalignment of the hand-crank hole with the crank...the engine front was high.

Out of curiosity, did you use the float-a-motor upper rear mount in your installation?



I'll be looking at crank end-play as the number one suspect.
Thanks for all your help, folks.
