    motor mount alignment

    Both of my motor mounts failed at the same time. So now I'm putting in new ones. The driver side comes down dead on, but I can't get the passenger side mount to properly line up with the correct hole, it seems to be pretty far off. I've lowered and raised this thing for a while now, is there any trick to this or do i just need to fight with this more?

    Pretty much you just have to fight with it. When Josh, Jordan and I swapped out Josh's motor, one of us had to stand on the engine to get it lined up correctly. lol

        Try unbolting the arm from the side of the engine block a bit.

        Common sense- It's the new 'gifted'

              Chain Come Along.

              Used it a few times now to line up the driveline.
              Works pretty damn good.
