Got the radiator recored with the crank hole and now the hole is about 3/16" to 1/4" too high. It came from the supplier to the radiator shop with the hole in place so about all the rediator guy can do (I suppose) would be make it more of a vertical rectangle.
<span style="font-weight: bold">I know it is often necessary to shim the motor mounts to achieve alignment but wondered how much shimming is reasonable?</span>
The mounts BTW appear to be in good fettle.
I have plenty of clearance to raise the engine a 1/4" but this will, of course, make the radiator inlet higher than the thermostat outlet by what ever I do (is even now).<span style="font-weight: bold"> Does that sound like a problem?</span>
I would probably make the shims out of bar stock like this:
I suppose it could also be done opening up some big washers but that pattern more closely matches the mount and the original shims (I already have one on the p/s mount).
I would like to fix this w/o returning to the radiator shop as tomorrow is the first day of elk season and they closed to go huntin' at 3:00 this afternoon until goodness knows when.
Any advice welcome. Thanks!
