I've read the tutorials, watched the videos, and planned this entire motor mount swap out, yet it's still going horribly wrong. Are the TS mounts are supposed to lower the engine by half an inch?
I have the engine supported by a jack and block of wood. I didn't raise the engine any more than what was needed for support purposes. Pulled the old driver's side mount and went to put in the TS mount, and it's not flush with the frame. I tightened up the 18mm bolt on the underside, but as the engine sits, I still have roughly 0.5" in space between the mount and frame. The square peg is in the hole, and the beveled spacer/washer is flush against it. Double checked the PN and it appears to be correct (TS-00-002).
Before I throw the stock mounts back in, is there something I'm missing?
The underside of the mount's shaft has a square on it that must seat onto the square hole in the frame support. If they are not lined up and inserted/mated correctly the engine will hang low.

That's the thing. They are in the square hole. I verified that by turing the mount to make sure that the center portion wasn't turning as well. The squares on the TS mounts are slightly larger than the opening In the frame support, so once I got them started In the square hole, I tightened up on the 18mm hoping that it would draw them the rest of the way In. It seemed to do the trick as the beveled washer is flush with the frame support.
Not sure if you can fully make it out in the picture, but I'm trying to capture the gap between the mount and frame as well as the flush seating of the mount and square hole.
i had to slightly file the square on the engine cradle to get my t/s mounts to fully seat. took a file and worked them until they fit tightly. 3 yrs later zero issues.
I dont see the motor mount brackets being used, they are actually spacers!
Are the spacers supposed to be used with the TS mounts? Everything I've seen said to remove them. I'll throw them in to see if they will work, but the quick test fit I tried earlier showed that they would be too thick.
