Dear Friends,
I would be grateful if you could advise the correct fitment/position of the BDA engine/block when using a lug mount Gr.4 WCXM.
Due to the fact I have noticed some variations in my WCXM and engine mounts I am confused.
One of my WCXM and mount combination giving a left yawed and another one giving a right yawed position to my engine but none of the WCXM is giving a parallel position to chassis legs. ( yaw around vertical axis )
Is this slight yaw normal or something is wrong or the engine should be parallel to chassis legs ?
I am aware of the fact that the BDA engine must be positioned off center ( to the left of the car ) to center axis of the body shell in order to allow sufficient clearance for the air filter but I am confused with the "yaw " situation.
And if there must certainly be yaw, which is the correct side of the yaw for the rear side of the engine/block regardless of it is a LHD or RHD car ?
When there is a lateral yaw, it means that the output shaft of the gearbox is not inline with the axle's pinion flange. Is this acceptable and if it is acceptable, to what extent it is acceptable ?
Please note that, all my WCXMs are providing the necessary 4 degree rearwards tilt angle to the engine to match the axle's tilt angle.
Regards
