1970 165 L-6 MC-1 drive I went to align my engine today and i couldn't get the tool to slide into the coupling all the way only about 3/4" so i eye'd the bearing to the coupler and the coupler looked low. so I shimmed the back mounts with a washer on each side. The little spring spacers are also in there with the fiber washers. I adjusted the front mouns and it seems perfect, tool slides in/out freely. Now would this mean the mounts are worn or the spring spacers weak? Should I find the cause for this or go with it? Has anyone ever had to shim the rear mounts? thanks
