I spent a good portion of a day trying to align the motor myself. On paper, it seems straight forward. Finally gave up and hired a pro and $300 later it was aligned. I do question the tolerances though. Can it really get to 1/1000 of an inch? With rubber engine mounts and any small amount of flexing in the shaft, or the engine torque throughout the RPM range seems that it would be unrealistic.
