Adapting Engine Support

NOTE: The threaded holes are necessary only when the adapter ring is used for the first time












1. Centre adapter on engine support: Fasten adapter half with the existing holes -arrows- on the engine support with two M10 x 60 auxiliary screws. Use a dia. 6.5 drill bit to spot-drill or countersink the engine support through the holes in the adapter ring. The adapter ring serves as the drilling template.







2. Rework engine support: Drill a core hole for a M6 thread at the spot-drilled points. Drill the holes using a dia. 3 mm drill bit, then with a dia. 5 mm drill bit.







3. Drill core hole and cut the thread.







4. Fasten adapter on engine support: Fasten the adapter on the engine support using the included hexagon socket pan-head screws (M6 x 35).







5. Fit engine support with adapter half: Fasten engine support with attached adapter half onto the crankcase half of cylinder bank 4-6.







6. Fasten the second adapter half on the crankcase: Screw the screw sleeves onto the studs and tighten by hand. Fit the connecting screws of the adapter halves and tighten to 10 Nm (7.5 ftlb.). Then tighten the installation sleeves.
