Try this little trick also to bolt up the engine. Instead of the AN-5
bolts initially, cut up 5/16" threaded rod to a longer length, and
lightly snug up the engine with 5/16" nuts whilst still on the hoist
-- the rod will be a sloppy fit. Then, one-by-one replace them with
the real, otherwise annoyingly snug-fit bolts. As Groucho Marx would
say, "duck soup."
Or as Bubba, the 'Redneck' Aircraft Mechanic, would advise, don't
force them AN-5's, use a bigger hammer!
