$800 is too much for a 1650 if it needs an overhaul unless it has front hydraulic ports. C.C. thought they didn't need balance gears in the engine when they decided to use rubber mounts. What usually happens is the 2 rails that the engine bolts to loosen up and it can ruin the oil pan on the engine. I have a 1450 that had the same problem. I tied the 2 rails together to make more of a cradle, then tack welded the bolts once they were tight. I used rubber shock absorber grommets in place of the factory mounts. Not quite as smooth as original, but 15 years later, I haven't had the engine come loose in the frame.

We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
