Icon6 engine mount fabrication experience... HELP

Vehicle: 94 honda civic sedan (DX) with a JDM D15B automatic

Well…

My transmission mount is making contact with the frame (mounting bracket). The mount is crooked and sitting a bit to the rear. This has happened to me with (2) different engine swaps in (2) different vehicles… I am thinking it is because I am installing the engine through the top (cherry-pick/hoist) and did/do not follow the correct sequencing to tighten the mounts.

I do not plan on selling the vehicle and driving it to the ground (another 90k). I am afraid it will vibrate/deteriorate the engine mount bracket/frame. Any ideas? Unscrew/rescrew is not working out… it sits like that after I drive.

Dude. You can put them in either way. What mount/ bracket setup are you running what motor what chassis. As long as the frame or front bulkheads aren't bent it should be relatively easy with the correct parts.

JDM d15b in an EG... OEM mounts.

i also experienced this is a DEL SOL (guess another EG) with a JDM b18c with Hasports Automatic-Manual Mount.
