has anybody changed their own engine mounts and any hints if you have on keeping the engine in alignment? i have a univesal 5411 diesel motor and the mounts are looking pretty bad. also does anyone know the cost of the parts needed. thanks in advance for any help.

Mine need replacing as well. You (we) will definately have to realign after installing the new mounts, but there is quite a bit of info available through this site, the Tech Tips by Dick Dickens (which you should buy if you haven't already), and other books, etc. Universal mounts cost about $75 each. I found the same item for $35 each at a local marine diesel service center/parts store. Shop around! You can also get flexible couplings that take the criticality out of the alignment, but I don't know how good they are. Good luck!
