Can you lock the engine in place
« on: February 26, 2012, 12:29:44 PM »
Hello,

I am working on my stainless steel double exhaust and want to mount it nice unde my bumper,

But to get a tight fit i have to lock the engine in place in rubber in stead of the spring,

Is that bad to for my engine?

Thanks gertjan

I have seen dampers fitted to 500's to stop the rocking of the twin aircoolled lump.  This might reduce the movement to allow a tight exhaust.

Hang a small net under the car to catch all the other nuts and bolts as they shake themselves off though ;D
