just trying to find a couple of people and what they think about the engine mounts. i have the bolts that secure the engine to the mount but they seem loose fitting for my .46 that i have ,should i go up to the next recommended size bolt or can i use the provided bolts and be okay. i have not drilled the holes in the mount yet until i get some feedback on what should be done thanks

I don't know what comes with the kit but 6-32 screws should be fine. You can either drill and tap the holes in the mount, or drill clearance holes through and use self locking nuts or nuts with lockwashers. Loctite always helps.

The 4-40-s that come with the kit will be fine size wise, but consider upgrading from the machine screws that came with the kit to a set of socket head cap screws.
Once you switch over to socket heads, and you buy a set of ball drivers, you'll never want to fiddle with slotted head screws again.
