Solved - 1987 Motor Mount Issue

Hey all, firstly I have tried to find a post like this on the forums and I couldn't find one with my issue. I'm honestly just a bit confused because I think I followed the instructions wrong initially in some way.

When we took the engine out (this was a while back so it's hard to remember) we unscrewed something off of the motor mounts and the engine came off. The bracket itself came off but not the circular mount.


We unscrewed the bracket from the oil pan and this is what it is now.

I'm assuming this isn't ideal as the FSM shows the mount already on the bracket during the assembly.

For now I have this screw which I labeled as the one from the motor mount (also had a lock washer) but the issue is that even when it's adjusted quite far out, it doesn't go through far enough through the bracket to the oil pan.


I can't tell if I'm dumb as rocks and missing something very simple, or maybe mislabeled a bolt. But I'm having a quite hard time figuring it out so I thought I'd ask here. Thank you!

I found the mistake for the motor mount bring attached to the bracket, I realized now re reading the FSM that I was supposed to remove it from the bottom and have it still attached to the bracket. Still not sure about the bolt being too short though

Well, I figured it out. I just mislabeled bolts somewhere and looked through every single place in my garage and found the bag.
