    I just got my engine back in the car and running again. The rpms seem to be double on the factory tach. I don't really use the stock tach, but I'm curious why it reads so high.

    I bought new motor mounts and noticed they hit the freeze plug boss as you tighten them up. It kinda tweaks the mounts as you tighten them. I don't have the old ones to compare. Is this normal or am I missing something?
