Well, I didn't figure they'd be that tight either... but maybe there is some truth to the rust statement. I couldn't believe they are that tight... I had something close to 2 ft of break-over on mine too... but I can't lean too hard... the motor is balanced on its oil pan and motor mount stuffed under the front if it to keep it level. If I lean too hard, I get to find out JUST how light/heavy the motor is at this point. Don't care to go there. I want it torn down so I can move it around easier. I'm running out of space in the garage... with all the junk I have, the project VW Super Beetle and ALLL the VX guys laying around. Anyway... good to see someone get past my "Illinoise" statement.

TTYL!
