motor install problems

[psycho6cyl]

I know I'm missing or doing something stupid but i can get one side in holes not full lined up but in and the other side is cocked about 1/4" resting on the frame pad. I can't seem to get it. If I adjust it other one comes out. I just installed h and r mounts. I don't know what gives. I've stepped away and hopefully I can figure it out. I'm lifting from driver side front by accessory bracket and pass side back of head...
Thx

H&R mounts on the correct sides?

 

[psycho6cyl]

I'm pretty sure they are but I pulled it again and going to double check. Hope it's something that srupid.. just looking for other ideas as well. Thx for replying

Had the same problem
Because of tall value covers!!
Pull the pass mount off
Set the motor in
Lower the motor down over the driver mount
Then bolt up the pass side
Mount

Caved in? How would I be able to tell that? Is there a measurement I can take. Do youmean caved in while installing?

When the nose of the car presses down against the springs, the crossmember is subject to 'caving' forces. Over 1/4 of a century it can add up on some cars.
