My 0-360 engine is a Conical mount style I have on my 6A... I set up the cowl orginally to be even to the top of the spinner..And was estatic that the engine never did seem to have the typical 'drop' at the front... Then at about 550 hours, I noticed it seemed to drop (or is it drouped).. about 1/8"... Also I was noticing a slight viberation that was beginning to bother me... I just couldn't find any reason for the viberation... Checking the LORD web page 'The Care of LORD Mounts' I decided to change the mounts (J-6230-1) durring my condition inspection... You can see in this picture one of the orginal (top front) mounts and it's obvious distortion:
And a picture of the new LORD mount installed on the bird:
The inspection/distortion limits are deplicted on the LORD web page:

The LORD J-6230-1 mounts are not cheap!.. Also durring install time, they clock at different 90 deg. positions with pins to hold them...
I haven't flown yet (not finished with my condition inspection).. So will report on results..
