The engine mounts must be installed perfectly with a defined distance between them
in the vehicle for optimum functioning so that the mounts are not too tight after installing the
engine.
However, it is not possible to measure the distance between the engine mounts
when the engine is lowered.
It is important, therefore, to mark the position of the engine mounts before removal and
restore this position during subsequent installation.
