Engine mount bush alignment

Post

Back to the top
 Just fitted a new bush to the the O/S engine mount.  I couldn't find any info about which way up the bush insert should be.  The only clue was in HAYNES which states "the gap should be uppermost".  Looking online at photos this appears to be the correct alignment BUT I have seen some photos of the bush the other way up???  Presumably fairly important when you come to refit the engine and get the bolt through the mount.

Please put my mind at rest as I really dont want to do that job again!

Had assurance from my engine builder that it is correct.  Thanks for the advice.
