Cmi etop clearance amount??? 1/16-1/8
3 Attachment(s)
How much clearance you consider exceptable. I lowered starboard engine in with wiggle room only and was able to get bolts in but there's at most 1/16th between the narrowest point. If I had to guess while getting into place I woulda said no way. Closest area is btwn port #4 and stbd #7. There solid offshore mounts but just thought I'd ck with some of you with narrow center to center dim. If there gonna have to go I'd just a soon it be now and get the narrow lightenings but would rather use these unless at risk. Tks

By the way I cked tails and they clear fine.
|
Now I know why Formula puts such a thick stringer in the middle. I mean I thought my engines were close, but if I really try I can change the plugs.
|
I say run em. I need to find a brave sole to ride in the bilge at wfo in 3 to 4's and make sure they don't touch.
|
I volunteer Travis! He's brave and thin enough to ride in the bilge.
|
You've got enough room in there, get an extended drive shaft and stagger the engines. Problem solved!
|
Kinda of funny he helped today and had his little narrow azz in there and was the one that said ain't ever gonna go.
|
Give Diamond Performance a call and see how wide Eickerts are. They may give you the room you are looking for.

Anybody else? I thought to possibly pull exhaust gaskets and use high temp to gain a bit more if need be also. I don't see how engines could move much individually however under extreme conditions I could see how they could move together slightly.
