Hello all, I am putting a H22 into my EG civic but cannot get the bolt holes to line up on the rear mount so I can put the bolt in pace. The 2 other mounts are in place and bolted in but the rear one doesnt wanna play ball. Ive managed to wedge a screwdriver in which has lined up one of the holes.
I think the problem is the bracket that sits inbetween the engine and the mount, this might need to be widened as its the urethane on the mount which is gripping. Ive tried putting soapy liquid there and WD40 to pull it all in line but no luck. Has anyone got any ideas?

Cheers

 

Try having someone rock the motor back and forth while your under the car to get the bolts in. I had to that a couple times with mine.

 

if you are using avid mounts then it is kind of common. all i did was slot the holes the three holes that bolt the mount to the subframe, so i could move the mount and then tighten it down when it is where you want it.
