[6pack] Crank pulley rubbing on crossmember

[Shannon Muncy]

Relatively easy fix;  The motor mounts are adjustable to the front and back
of the car.  You need to loosen them (including the rear trans mount) and
slide the engine to the rear of the car.  You'll have about a 1/2 inch of
movement rearward.

Subject: [6pack] Crank pulley rubbing on crossmember

About 6-kmi after re-installing the engine, the damper/crank pulley  
has decided to mate itself with he tubular front crossmember. Now I  
know they've been close before, but hard contact kind of interferes  
with the engine's ability to, you know... turn over.

The xmission rear mount looks fine, but it's possible the engine has  
moved slightly in the engine mounts. It appears as though the xmission  
mount is the only thing offering real fwd/aft control.

Before i start messing about, does anyone have any experience with  
this problem?
