I took my motor out (B18C) and swapped with a rebuilt B18C and rebuilt the head, for some reason my motor mounts don't fit. It looks like i'm able to get any 2 of the 3 in, but the other is always off by a few MM. Just enough to where i can't line up the threads to catch the nut on the other end. They fit before-hand, so i'm unsure what to do to check fitment. Right now the 2 side mounts are in, and the rear is loose. I tried loosening the mount from the block, but there isn't any useful amount of play.

Mounts are Place Racing, and fit before...

Any ideas?

 

Loosen all bolts to where all mounts can me moved from side to side a bit. Once all are installed then wrap it up B.

 

Well the problem with the back mount is the motor won't slide back about 5mm to fit dead on the hole. I suppose i could try having someone push it or something...

 

lift the motor from the front or rear to try to get it to move that little bit
