So today I finally decided to drop the engine back in after doing the cam swap. The engine really never left the car, all I did was unbolt the Engine mount through bolts, jack the engine up from under the oil pan, and let it rest on wooden blocks. I put the wooden blocks in between the engine frame mounts and the engine mount brackets, giving the engine just enough boost to get the oil pan off
Fast forward to today, and i cant seem to get the engine back down.
Here's the problem. I raised the engine off of the blocks, removed the blocks, and began to lower the engine, only to notice somehow, the engine has moved a whole inch forward. In other words, the engine mount brackets wont go around the mounts, instead the brackets sit ontop of the mounts due to the engine somehow being forward.
The engine just wont budge back, I've pried in places trying to move it back, ive hit it with a sledge hammer (with wood in between).
Does anyone have any ideas of for one how this happened and secondly how to fix this? :dontknow:
