yeh looks like I will drill 2 holes 90 degree off. The engine was making a clattering noise for 3 weeks. I searched and searched and couldnt find it. I finally decided it was the motor mounts. looks like that guess was wrong. I think the last straw was turning the engine by the crank bolt to do the valve adjust and my own inexperience with these engines. the bolt was loose when I was turning the motor over, but it didnt clue me to the bigger issue, I just retightened it
