Motor mount upside down, big deal?

[madsedan]

Looked in the bay to see what sized washers I need to shim up the passenger side for manifold clearance and noticed the mount was metal side up. Should I flip that around or is it ok like it is?

A local shop did the swap so I have no idea why its mounted like this.

I would fix it. What mounts?

Its the rubber mount going between subframe and aluminum motor mount, the e28 part. I'll flip it when I put the washers between the rubber mount and the aluminum motor mount.

Sounds like they did a good job

I changed the spark plugs to bkr6ek's yesterday as it had a slightly lumpy idle and I had 4 NGK 6Ek's and 2 TR5's in the motor lol

In all fairness this was their first swap like this and a learning experience for me and them, I'm cool with it.

sounds like the same kind of place that started the swap on my car before i bought it... shit was all kinds of backwards, wrong, mismatched and loose... lol

I'm not mentioning names but the guys do good work, this was just the first time they've done a 24v swap on an e30, I have no complaints, and they went above and beyond to make things right for a couple months after the swap.
