I have some past posts on this subject, but I am revisiting it because it is still bothering me. My engine is new, the previous motor was aligned, had some trouble getting the new one lined up, which may have been just not setting the gimbal. In the end I kept having to move the engine down until it bottomed out on the bolts and the tool still has some resistance and splines touch on top of the tool. My question is:
Just to confirm, splines on the top = lower from of engine, adjust down?
Is it possible that I just went way too low and that I could get it aligned at a higher level somehow, maybe there are two points that it could align correctly with the gimal or something?
Should I cut my spring rear mount spring washers?
I have already replaced the bolts and spring washers on the rear mounts, the boat is a 1996 5.7l alpha1 gen 2.
Thanks
