GMBrown Posted July 19 Report Posted July 19 I could use some wisdom from the collective. I have a M20K, which engine is recently returned by Lycon. Going to place the engine on the mount when I noticed that the mount spacers had been not properly kept track of. While the mounts themselves had been properly tracked and marked, and therefore could be put together, the spacers had not been properly kept track of. Thus I ended up with 3 solid metal spacers that are one and 1/2 inches long, and one metal/rubber spacer that is 2 inches long. Which mount gets the longer spacer? The plane is s/n 25-0398. The manual is not helpful. Mooney (Crawford is awol until next week. Lasar didn't answer my call and an MSC's answer was equivocal, though useful. Any idea where the odd man out spacer goes? Or should I just get new ones?
N201MKTurbo Posted July 19 Report Posted July 19 It is kind of important. I don’t know about your engine, but on the Lycoming you need 7/16 of spacers or washers. The thing you need to look out for is that none of the nuts bottom out on the threads before you clamp the motor mount parts together.
GMBrown Posted July 19 Author Report Posted July 19 The K has a TSIO360-LB Continental. Another wrinkle is that the original engine was a -G, not the -LB. But how that would affect the engine mounts is beyond me. I had no idea that the spacers were not going to be the same all round.
