How can I adjust my engine so that it is lifted off of the K-Member of my '89 2.3 Liter? I have gotten new solid engine mounts but I can't get the bolts off to save my life. Any tips?

Would putting a few layers of carpet between the oil pan and the cross memeber work? The oil pan looks like it is bending pretty bad on the passenger side.

 

Are you trying to install new mounts, or did you have these mounts on already? The best way to get the motor up is to slide a floor jack under there with some wood on it, support the oil pan, remove the big nut on each side mount...then jack the motor up a tad, slide the mounts out...etc... Could you be more specific as to whats goin on?
