I meant done putting the engine in place.
Certainly not even close to done in any other respect.

i know what you meant, just joking and its looks good to. i can see you put a lot of work into it. if i can help with anything else id be glade to.

well, one thing is, my motor mounts I made use a sleeve that is probably 1/4" larger than the motor mount bolt that goes through it (it was the closest round tubing I could find when I was making them).
Basically there is slack in there so the engine is capable of moving up and down a small bit. I'm worried that under torque it may lift up slightly on one side and then clunk back down and sound crappy.
Should I make up another sleeve that will fill the space?
Is there any type of synthetic material that might be a good idea to use? Maybe something that is a little compressible?

here's quick sketch of what I have.

are they solid mounts no rubber? if you tighten them tight enough they shouldnt move. but if had to you could tack weild if it moved.

there is rubber on the mounts that attach to the engine.
It's just that the bolt going through the sleeve of the frame mount has play.
