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 did have it raised to the one of the trans mounts and almost at the other. The front was making contact. I had the front bolt in, it just wasn't threading.
rgalla do you remember if your bolt tapered? Thanks guys maybe it was just off a little? |
