I am back in the air now and the J-6230-1 conical lord mounts are not
> working well for me. The mounts I had previously used were #71032
> bushings (8) and big washers(8). The expensive new mounts came with no
> direction and I am wondering if I installed them wrong because the
> engine moves around on a 3 g pull up and I hate the smell of burning
> rubber and a nice pulley slot in my bumpout on the cowling. The spinner
> is a 1/4" sag to the cowling. I oriented the mounts as Vans sent me a
> pic showing the orientation holes since my motor mount did not have the
> alignment markings. Their was a smash stop spacer that came with the
> mounts and it goes between the two bushings and only allows one to
> tighten the mounts just so far and that seems like that could be part of
> the problem. I did not use any of the big fender washers that were used
> with my old rubbers that did not have washers embedded in them like
> these new ones. Any ideas? I really don't notice these mounts being
> any smoother than my old mounts and the 71032 bushings could be smashed
> together more than these. My engine is a O-320-A2B. Have others experienced
this problem?
