Motor mount install question

I think Ted and I are saying the same thing, just differently. The nubs should be upward, facing the engine, not against the subframe. The nubs should also be lower than the stud, facing towards the engine if you will.

Yep.

Been working on getting everything in for the past hour. For the life of me I can't get the driver's side lined up. It's times like this I wish I had a hoist because trying to get everything lined up with a floor jack isn't working...

If I can get my 20b finished up ASAP, I'd give you a hand by toting my hoist down to cincinnati. Not sure how you're doing it without one, but you get an A for effort already!

In regards to the mounting manner, it sure looks like Mazda wanted the driver's side in loosely first, then the passenger side put in. That's how the 20b went in.

Thanks for the offer, but I was finally able to get everything in. I ended up having to loosen the mount from the engine bracket a bit more and then I just whacked everything into place with the engine down. Everything's installed as outlined in this thread and I've since installed a new transmission crossmember, y-bracket and Mazda Competition mounts. The shift lever is about 1.5" higher now (you should have seem the stock mounts/bushing) but still canted to the passenger's side. Oh well...

As for moving things around - careful placement of a floor jack and a block of wood.
