I'm trying to get the engine bolted back in the car. The trans mounts are bolted in. I have a jack under each end of the engine bar holding the engine into the body. Problem is, the bolts that go up through the engine bar and engine mount on the body aren't long enough. ??? They were the right size when I dropped the engine and I didn't mix them up with other bolts. I need another inch of threads. Help please.

Fixed. I had added a washer to the head of the bolt were there shouldn't have been one. The bolt needs to recess into the crossbar. I got my extra inch and mounts bolted up easily. Thanks everyone for putting up with my - duh - moment.

Just saw this to late to give the fix (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) . Blast it a thread I actually had the answer for (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) . To little to late as usual (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) . Glad you got it figured out |
