Float-a-motor...

[Raven]

I currently have the radiator and cylinder head off of my '31 roadster. When I purchased the car the owner said the he couldn't get the hand crank to fit in the pulley...it wouldn't line up. Now that I have the front portion of the car off I can see that the engine is sitting up on the front float-a-motor mount at such a height that the hand crank wouldn't mesh with the pulley. Tightening down on the mount helps with the crank/pulley alignment but takes pretty much all the float-a-motor spring suspension out of play. This doesn't seem right as the engine should be free to "float" on the mount and not be bound tightly to it. Am I missing something? Is there an alignment or adjustment on the back motor mounts that could cause the engine to be cocked at an angle so as to not allow alignment between the hand crank and pulley? I want this to be right before I start putting the car back together...thanks
