@@FritzRamos fritz hey there again! I’m gonna tackle this mount issue tomorrow and I wanna know when you use the engine brace and you start tightening down that middle hook that hooks to the tow hook, does it lift the engine like yours is doing in the vid? Also do you want to tighten down that middle prong that spins down onto the middle of the brace as tight as possible?
@DuckMcDuckinson2 жыл бұрын
@@FritzRamos also the tow hook you have, does it screw all the way down into the threads ontop of the engine? Because I have the same hook and it’s a pain to keep tightening it down and it’s still not all the way threaded in. Or do you just tighten it down as much as you can even if there are a few threads that aren’t in?
