I used slotted area washers similar to a fender washer to minimize effort in engine sag adjustment. Initially, I built my engine about a 1/4" low with two slotted washers on the top two mounts. After a little sag they are easily removed without having to pull the bolts. Subsequent to a little more sag they are semi-easily installed on the bottom two mounts. You'll still have to remove the nut to add a compensating washer but at least you won't have to pull the bolt. Larry Henney 360LH
