Best to proceed with caution or you could end up with a real monster .

my transplant has turned into a nightmare! ive got a real mess, problem is15'' tiller is slightly higher than 20'' clamp so when i swancwich the top plate it forces the 2pc plate up, leaving a gap,bottom plate to can . both plates / mounts fit nice together, but the 2 long tiller bolts wont slide thru the tighten alu. mounts. the whole 2pc assembly lifts off can. a double gasket wont be enough. thinking of boring out the thru bolt hole in the mounts,they need to drop down. i cant raise the can or lower the tiller. the plates sit about 1/8 too high. MAYBE turn the mounts on a lathe and 5200, to seat them in? the 15'' cut man must have been a little off..... I THINK i was off, itsall together, if i can get some help ill pull it out and put the hose and fire it up. 15'' was cut correctly. went together smooth, all lined up.

I ASSUMED the water pump was good, pumped fine but sitting for over a year. well of course, no water pressure. it would have been soooo ez. what was i thinkin??? now i have to wrench my painted lower, see whats up. didnt think how long it sat. the 2pc adaptor switch had me occupied.
