Engine Alignment

[Afraal]

Hello forum,

My engine could use some re-alignment and I was wondering if you could provide some guidance/tips on how to get it done. I have watched youtube videos, but looking for some Cat310 specific tips. Also, has anyone here used the boom hoist the engine to help with realignment?

thank you!

you can hoist the engine using a 4 x 4 on the cabin top or boom to replace the engine mounts and/or damper plate but to adjust the mount in place it is not necessary. disconnect the coupling, loosen the top mount nuts, and use a feeler gauge on coupling to adjust. No need to lift engine if the mounts are sound.
