Those engines are very wide. Had to raise the gen up 5" off the shelf and push outward to gain a couple more inches in clearance to get the sound cover off and get in to bolt down and adjust mounts and hook up starter cable. It worked out fine cause it gets the gen higher for easier service which upon closer look today, the heat exchanger has a hole in it.
Warrantee and it ain't been run yet.
Engine water hose will be the last thing to go on after final alignment is done so I can get to the mounts.
Tight, but managable.
Scot,
Thats the standard sound enclosure for that gen set. Both front and rear enclosures remove for service.
Also if it ever needs to be pulled, remove wing and unhook cables and hoses and 4 nuts on the mounts and the genset will lift out with engine in place leaving the base tray.
Being in the service business I try and do all my installs with the future service guy in mind.
Very nice. If my engine compartments turn out half as nice I'll win awards for craftsmanship.

Looking good! on that job there Bruce, hope mine turns out that sweet. Is that the same boat that was on those awesome support stands you had in the shop.
I've got the next gen. 5kw in mine, but I don't think the sound box would have fit.
