Curing wobbly engine - head steady and goop.

The angle needs to be 50 mm x 50 mm to allow for ease of assembly and for the nut to clear the can cover.

Ah, forgot about nut clearance haha. Must order some more than

I retract my previous statement!

The engine lift bolt hole is NOT a suitable location.

My threaded rod showed no sign of fatigue or wear in the threads, that's because it's a decent steel and the block is ALU. So, the threads in the block have gone hahaha

Thinking about it.  That threaded hole is in the head.  I've got one on the bench at the moment.  I took a look at the structure around the hole.  You're lucky you didn't take a chunk out of the head.

Hmm.. I guess the potential forces are higher than when lifting the engine out

[Carolyn]

Yes they are and they're different.  Lifting is steady pressure at 90 degrees to the hole.  Head steady is hammering and vibration in line with the hole.  You got away with that one.

Made a bracket and refitted. Very similar to your first one. Luckily a lovely someone sent me some nice longer bolts  s;) s;)  
Took it out, it still works.
More rubber on the way to finish it off.
