Joe,
I installed my engine in 2006 and did not have access to a lot of info now available.
The washers you mention ( I assume ) go against the rubber doughnuts on the engine
mount. They are to be used in compression so two will be on the back side
and two will be on the front. There is a photo somewhere showing how they are
installed but I can not find it. They are not shown in some photos so I did not
install them at first. I flew about 60 hours and found out that I had left them
out. I bought new rubber mounts of higher durometer ( stiffer ) and installed
the washers. This raised the engine just enough that I had to patch and re-drill
the cowling attach screws. I did not have to do it but the spinner was
about 1/2" off the vertical center and I did not like the looks of it. Don't take
my word but check it out thoroughly before you fit the cowl.
