Spacer with Engine Mount
I recently purchased a 1994 Ranger 4x4 with the 3L engine. The project was purchased with the engine in the bed of the truck rather than the engine compartment. The motor mounts looked particularly crusty and had a 1/4" rough cut spacer between the bracket and the mounts. I replaced the mounts with new from O'Reilly's and lowered the engine down to the new fresh mounts. Everything looks good from the top but underneath the oil pan is directly resting on the bracket that the passenger side scissor attaches to. There is no gap between the oil pan and the cross member bracket, and I'm beginning to see why the previous owner may have mounted the engine with the spacers in place. Is this a common issue with the available mounts? Have others experienced this? Are washers a viable solution? I don't particularly want to put the rough cut 1/4 inch back in. I also haven't managed to line up the engine and transmission
