zenoah engine fitment issue

[chadj1980]

alright guys i have a issue with engine screws loosening up and binding in the gears.. after looking closer it appears that my motor is crooked and the mount to the chassis the engine doesn't sit flat.. actually it sits about 1/4 high... I noticed at this hight there is no bind issue.. should I just make some spacers up or what??? any ideas?? Again if i tighten it down so it fits just loosen screws up in 5mins and causes some serious binding....

You need to change to a CY fan cover, or slot the holes.

There are spacers that fit on the bottom of the engine there should have been 2 spacers from your old engine.

Get the Python mount. No more chasing spacers around. 4th item on the list.

Wow!!!! now that's cool and no more trying to line those little spacers up with your engine holes now you have a whole bar.

You can also drill and tap a hole in it then keep it screwed to your chassis.

OK thanks that's a cool idea then you will never have to worry about trying to line it up again. Great I will get a few of those.
