I temporarily installed the engine in my car yesterday!. I am using a factory oem front mount. Everything lined up great, the bolt went in up through the engine bracket and rubber mount nicely. It was difficult to get the bolt threaded into the nut plate on top. The plate kept moving. The way everything was situated (on my low rise lift) I couldn't get a hand on top to hold it. Is there a trick to doing this? I'm thinking maybe of using some glue/seam sealer to hold it in place.

I like the tie wrap idea. I have to check next time I take the engine out if the boltis tapered.

QUOTE(Krieger @ Dec 30 2011, 02:10 PM)  I like the tie wrap idea. I have to check next time I take the engine out if the boltis tapered. Is the transaxle raised all the way to its' mounts ? Don't even try until it is. Have a drift pin ? use that first to align the front mount Use a 19mm short socket on a 10 " extension so that your hands are free of any interference. The two tangs on the nut plate allow enough play so that the bolt starts with no problem' Also I've found it much easier to install a 6 engine without the two side tins installed. Install them afterward, it 's a bit tight but very do-able. '- |
