I think i have them in correct spot?? Grant Hi Grant, at a glance that looks about right. If you have R600 cab mounts they wont be wide enough because your chassis narrows back where R700 mounts go. R700 mounts are wider because the chassis is narrower back there. My new mobile is 0448 267 676. Regards Jeffro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theakerstwo Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 The engine looks to have too much of a angle down in the rear. Quote glenn akers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b61fred Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 hi, Most engines are on a 4 deg. tilt, I would use a protractor with a level and find out what your angle is. If you are not sure about the 4 deg. you can check the angle of the pinion flange on the rear axle, it should be the same as the angle of your entire drive line. if you have angles that don't match you will have a viberation issue later on. As a side note, on my r 700 v8 the fan doesn't line up with the radiator very well, appers the radiator is much higher than the fan, Fan runs directly on a shaft in the front of the engine. how does your fan run, on belts or direct?
