Possibly when installing the engine/transaxle have the spacers between the mounts and sub frame; if you see an obstruction or dislike, lift the engine while still in the sling and pull them out.
As previously mentioned, mine has no spacers and I was unaware any existed until I read the post of one having spacers.
