Good Afternoon,
I installed new rubber motor mounts today and noticed they aren't perfectly aligned.
I'm 90% sure I have the bottom metal mounts on the correct sides, but I could be wrong.
The center bolt that runs thru the mounts isn't snugged up yet, but engine and frame mounts have been tightened.
Any ideas or is this an acceptable alignment?
Thanks,
John

From the pictures this is not acceptable and I don't think you will be able to fit the spacer tubes into which the large bolts fit.
...One Rubber Biscuit goes On TOP of the Mount, the 2nd One Underneath. Should Line up Perfectly. I can see in the photo, if You take ONE Rubber OUT, the Engine will Lower down to Alignment. The Weight Compresses ONE Pad per Engine Side.

wow! how embarrassing and what a waste of a day. I had the original mounts like the pic above but after looking at the factor dwg, thought I had installed them wrong from the beginning.
Thanks for the insanity check. that's 8 hours of time I will never get back.

Good luck…. Hopefully now that you’ve been in there, it will go a lot faster!

...Yes! As a Machinist and a graduate of 'Technical Drafting', I can testify, the 'Assembly View' Drawing was drawn Incorrectly! In some instances, this may be defined as a 'Exploded View', Similar but Not the Same.
