Re: Top engine mount
I used washers inbetween the mount and the frame to shim the top mounting point so the engine mount wouldn't bend when I tightened it. And then of course washers on the outside as well.

Re: Top engine mount
Washers between head and mount and between mount and nut.
So at the head you use 4 washers.
Mounting to the frame. Bolt and washer through the right side of frame,
left side of frame shims between frame and mount, then washer and nut with cotter pin.
May be a lock washer under nut too, can't remember.
All hardware parkerized, mount is cad.

Re: Top engine mount
I've found that if flat washers aren't used in between the head and the top motor mount that the choke linkage (original for Linkert) will rub on the intake manifold.

Re: Top engine mount
I Always put washers between it and the head.The motor mount fork end has a tendency to dig into the head.
