Hi all. What would a day be like without me asking these "one of a kind" questions? --- ;^) Should the top half of this Fox engine mount shift this much under weight of engine? http://tubaneil.googlepages.com/tempfoxmountpics This is on my 15 degree Jetta engine install. I think I measured the position of the mounts incorrectly. I "leveled" the engine, then made marks for mount bolts onto carrier. When engine supported by carrier, the mount looks like it's shifting and engine is no longer "level". I'm mentally challenged right now so opinions regarding mount shift shown in the pics, would help right now. Seems to me that if positioned correctly on the carrier, then when weight of engine is on them, it should compress the mounts toward the carrier, but not shift like that. Loosing my mind.... ;^) Neil.
