They straighten frames using Les Andrews' method in his manual. It should be a simple job. And take only a day at most. Good Luck Bill G

Bill, I'm new at this so please bear with me.
How does one measure the sag of the engine mounts, Especiallly to .001?
Does this mean there is a twist in the side rails of the frame? A straight edge accross the frame rails and the measure a gap?
Once the sag is determined, how do you restore it to the original position? (Not a big hammer I hope )
Does the torque of the engine cause assymetrical twisting/sagging?
Don't go away, I'll probably have more questions LOL
