Mark the locations of the engine mounting holes onto the engine mounting
beams.

Remove the engine and drill 5/64" (2mm) diameter pilot holes through
the engine mounting beams at the marks you drew, then enlarge the pilot
holes, using a 1/8" (3mm) diameter drill bit.
IMPORTANT
Be careful that you drill the holes straight down and not
at an angle.

Install the engine onto the engine mounting beams using four M3 x 25mm
socket-cap screws, eight M3 flat washers and four M3 lock nuts.
