Bill,
I've braced my Cannon manifold by running supports from the
inlet ends of the manifold down to the engine mount; I figure
there is a lot of weight hanging off the head on that side of the
motor so it needs all the help it can get; hopefully the broken
manifold problem may be diminished.
Also have balanced the motor and removed several pounds of
reciprocating mass. Now when I crank the motor I can tell
when the bearings are going south; feels like nails on a blackboard?

Real men solid mount their motors (but still use rubber at the trans
mount).
