Due to HD space shortage (not enough blank CDs) I archived my email ff
my HD. Somewhere i the old mail is Mike Potter's description of
bolting the four motor mounts just tight and then a procedure to take
a run up the block and then pop the hood and torque them to spec. This
served to align the motor correctly.

Sorry I can pop it up right now but it might lend a hand in searching
the archives on Scirocco dot Org.
