Use a jack & some wood blocks & lift that side just a little. But also depends how much gap are we talking about

Jack under engine on wood...just to move around...
and don't tighten ANY of them until all 3 are threaded in a little to leave wiggle room.

Here are a couple install tips we have for those who are installing new mounts, you might be past some of this since you're onto the last mount, but hopefully it helps the next person!
  • When installing the motor mounts install one mount at a time.
  • Make sure to support the motor when removing the original mount so that it will be easier to align the holes properly when installing the new mount
  • Once the mount is installed do not tighten any hardware done until all the motor mounts have been replaced. Basically, do your final few turns of all bolts once all three mounts are in place
  • Tighten the bolts that hold the mount in place to factory spec. Tighten the center bolt that goes through the mount to 35-40 ft lbs of tq.
  • Re-locate any grounds removed to an alternate location. Plug any vacuum lines by following the line back to the source and installing a vacuum cap or by plugging the end of the vacuum line.
Best of luck to you on the install Elijah! Feel free to send me a PM if you need something.
