What exactly is wrong? the rubber part of the motor mount slides up and down in a slot, you might be able to loosen it and get it to fit into the hole in the engine mount bracket that's bolted to the block. I know I had a hard time getting the passenger side in just putting a new KA in. If all else fails, do what I did...the bolt was below the hole so I wrapped a rope under it and yanked up...bam, engine fell into place on it's mounts. I jacked it up a bit and recovered my rope

if your KA mounts are still on the cross member, take them off and bolt them to your motor first, THEN put the motor in.

Maybe im mis-understanding you though. Just relax man, it might take longer than you expected, no biggie

[USsil80]

its ok i just settled down now going to get it in the morning.... still want to rip something apart though

[theronin]

civics are good for ripping apart

Dude I had a horible time getting my motor mounts in. The only thing I can advise is to loosen them on the motor brackets slightly and then adjust as you let the motor down. They slide in the motor bracket and the chassis.

Man I remember that, i'm glad that is over. I was about as pissed as you at the time.

mine wasnt going on easy either then i just loosned up the nut on the drivers side mount and it sat in perfectly

[USsil80]

yea i want to start go working on it but it is jsut to cold even with teh heater i have outside..sucks

[GTS4-R]

mine plopped right in......of course we put the mounts on the motor and threw it in......couldn't have been easier!

[unfrgivn]

Yea it's not that hard, I tightend the mounts all the way to the engine and then dropped them onto the crossmember. It won't fit in both holes easily, so just take a big *** pry bar and pry the engine back towards the firewall and it will slip right in... like a glove.

As mentioned before, mount the motor mounts to the engine then drop the motor in, it is much easier this way, but it will still take a little bit of patience. By the way, why are you trying to put the drive shaft in if the motor isn't even installed yet?

[USsil80]

the motor is in the car.... just holding by the lift on one motor mount

[Onizuka]

Im glad you got it in alright :thumbup
