Ive read somewhere about unbolting engine mounts?

Is this the case on the FC?

Yep you will need to remove one of the Engine mounts completely and Undo the other, TBH changing the Sump gasket is a pain in the rear too do, you need to find some way of Raising the Motor up whilst keeping the bottom of the engine clear (i used a engine bar, I use it for changing Clutches etc, it goes across the Inner Wings and it has a threaded bar with a Hook on it. Works great)

A bit of a Tip, Be carfull taking the Mount off the Side of the Engine (the Off side one i think it is) one of the Bolts goes through into the Water way so if your not carfull you\'ll end up getting wet :), But saying that its easy to spot (There\'s four bolts holding it to the side of the engine its the only one thats smaller than the rest)

Yep!  Its lots of fun too!  (Speaking from bitter experience)

Theres one mount that interferes in a rather major way - take a look underneath and you will see what I mean! :(

Sound like it\'l be a good idea to wait till I get some poly engine mounts.  Might be a while!
