Calling all with solid motor mounts

[Bloodlust182]

Hey guys, so I recently completed my AWD swap in my n/a (built TT engine going in during the fall) and I had a lot of vibrations coming from up front when I hit the gas hard. I looked under the car and the TC was angled down towards the ground which I found odd as it should be lined up with the drive shaft correct? Well anyway I loosened up my front motor mount and when I did my engine slipped down and now the TC is lined up correctly (needs a little more adjustment in the rear mount) and most if not all of the vibrations are gone (as good as it gets with solids haha). Im thinking about drilling out the brackets that are on the engine so a larger bolt can fill up the gaps that are in the solids, have many people done this or had my type of problem with solid mounts? If someone who has drilled out their brackets could chime in and say what sized bolt works for the mounts that would be awesome.

Larger bolt wont help. It will only hinder installation. People have brought up the bolt diameter in the past, and it is a non issue.

Whose solid mounts are you using?

[Bloodlust182]

Maximal solids, Im going to get the bolt size matched up just to see if it will balance the engine out as the TC is slightly pointed up towards the car now. I guess the easiest thing would be to loosen both up and let the motor balance itself out. my main concern is the TC angle.

Before you put too much work into it, try tightening the mounts in the proper sequence... Loosen them all back up, let the motor hang on the fender mounts, tighten the the rear mount and the fender mounts, then tighten the front mount last...
