ok so i put my engine mounts off my ej22e on to my ej22t well i for some reason they dont want to both line up with the slots the right side are left side will go in but then it seems to be off by an 1''1/2 away from the slots so im just woundering if i could have the mounts backward are if i dont have it completely level strait tranny atached didnt have a camera to take pics ill probly look at my new ss l8tr to see but both cars are away from me right now..

the mounts are the same on most ej engine, u really cant put them on backwards. i have 04 sti mounts. when putting them back in i use a pry bar directly at the top of the mount stud and tap them till it drops. I have to do this every time but it works.

It is possible to put them on backwards, but it's fairly obvious if you do because the stud will stick straight down instead of at an angle.

Remove the pitch mount. Makes it a hell of a lot easier. With my car it was impossible without removing the pitch mount bolt.
