Engine mount question
« on: February 28, 2011 - 09:51:07 AM »
Hello all,
I dropped my engine in this weekend and when I went to tighten the engine mounts down the threads ended before the bolt was tightened all the way. Are these bolts supposed to tighten up all the way flush with the mount? I had to put ten washers on the passenger side & 5 washers on the drivers side to accomplish this. If it is supposed to be flush then I was thinking that I need to get bolts with more threads on them. I'm thinking that they are the wrong bolts but they were in my car when I got it. I would rather not leave them like that. Any advice would be appreciated.

They are the wrong length bolts. Those would be ok tho.  Pull down tight

I agree, definitely the wrong bolts.
If you can't find the correct bolts in your area, Steve's muscle cars has helped me alot.
