I unbolted the drivers side motor mount from the block because I was going to jack the engine up for my oil pan gasket swap, but ended up not having to do it. Now, the bolt holes don't line up with the motor mount. What do I need to do to correct this so I can bolt it back up? Do I have to loosed the motor mount from the frame? Do I have to jack the engine up a little bit? What should I do?

why did you unbolt it from the block. you should have just did it from the frame. just take it from the fram and bolt it back up to the motor

I agree w/ dastang2...if that doesn't do it, loosen the other side slightly to free it up enough to get the bolts started.

I don't know why I unbolted from the block. I have never done it before and the posts I read didnt specify, so I just took the block bolts out. I will try loosening up the other side to see if it will slide enough to get bolts started. Otherwise I'll loosen it from the frame. Anyone know what size bolt that is?
