Engine Shock Mount Replacement
Does anyone have any experience changing front engine rubber mounts? My question is: can I get away with not disconnecting everything (oil lines, throttle cables, etc.) by only lifting the engine high enough to remove and replace the rubber mount pads? I heard the bolts will not line-up very well unless the weight of the engine is supported, so are there any trade secrects on replacing the rubber mounts?

Yes you can. The only things that I totally disconnected were the mufflers from the "Y" pipes (normal aspirated).

Thanks for the info. I didn't think about the muffler. Also, what position should the throttles be in? Full forward or full aft? Or leave it in the middle so it can move in either direction?

I had plenty of slack in the throttle, misture and prop cables.. I raised the engine just enough to change out the lower donuts.

So, how did you keep weight on the nose wheel? Did you put wooden supports on the tail boom?
