I had to replace to e-module, s-module, and pretty much everything around it this year due to a tree getting in my way last winter.
I just dropped the engine back in on top of the mounts and tightened up the 4 bolts, however the ring gear hits the lower front portion of the e-module. I found this out after starting it up for a second - made a hell of a racket each time it hit.
I removed the mount bolts and moved the engine over to the left to where it wouldn't hit any more and from what I can see the MAG side mounts still lined (due to the square holes), and the front PTO should be ok, but now the rear PTO mount doesnt line up at all (has the fixed round hole).
Has anyone every been through this before? Have you had to die-grind the hole larger to work? I should mention that the e-module is brand new so everything is straight.
I attached a couple of pictures here as reference. In the third picture I had started to take a file to the aluminum to help it clear the ring gear. Made a bit of mess right now that I need to cleanup, but thought I should start asking questions here before i get too far along.
Hope someone can help.
