ok, thanks for the information. now, do i need a boot for the iron? also, i have an infrared thermometer, will that be ok to check temp on the iron? i know i have another question, but just cant think of it right now.  oh, ok, remembered. this is an engine mount question. is it possible that the mount isnt straight? i remember reading on here about right thrust being built in, could this be the case with my engine mount? i measured the engine to the firewall, and i got less gap on the right side than the left. this engine is so tight in the mount, there is no room for left/right movement, so im hoping this is this "right thrust" im hearing about. thanks again.
