    Is this a Toro 3500. If so they should tell you how to work around the motor mount. Their techs have the same mount in their way. I try to use engine mfg manuals if I can ,They can sometimes tell you a different way to check clearances , and adjust valves.

    Out of curiosity was the clearance off on the valves? I am assuming your talking about a toro 3500d sidewinder with a Kubota diesel? On my toro 3500d Kubota it looks as though there is a nut on the rear of the engine that you may be able to use to turn the engine.
