cybaster Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Hi everyone, I am in the process of installing the Group N motor mounts. I have the mounts bolted and torqued, and i had a difficult time lowering the engine back onto the subframe. My question is, are the original (circular) plates that held the OEM mounts necessary between the subframe and group N mount? Also, any pointers on aligning the engine onto the subframe? I have the pitch-stop removed and the drivers side goes in but the passenger side is not aligning. Any pointers appreciated. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators BarManBean Posted July 1, 2017 Moderators Share Posted July 1, 2017 You don't use the circular plates. Lift the motor back up a bit and undo the pitch stop. Then lower it back down and it should fall right in place. "Bullet-proof" your OEM TMIC! <<Buy your kit here>> Not currently in stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solidxsnake Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 You should only be using the new mounts with the plates they came with, along with two nuts per mount (that generally need to be purchased separately from the mounts since they're not included, I believe they're M10-1.25) to hold the plate to the mount itself. Looks like you've figured all that out already, anyhow. I'd try lifting the engine again and seeing if there's enough give to move it to align the passenger side... It should just drop right into place, as BMB said above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybaster Posted July 1, 2017 Author Share Posted July 1, 2017 WHoo! Just did it! I was pushing on the alternator as I lowered the engine and it popped right in. Thanks all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
