    Hi all I was trying to finish up my t5 install and once everything was set up and we were trying to find the pinion angle we noticed that the motor and trans are sitting at a pretty heavy angle. I had reason to believe it is these motor mounts. We had some issues trying to get them in but were able to after awhile. Can anyone tell me if this could be the reason to such a heavy motor angle and if we have them on wrong? The motor sits at an 8 degree angle measured at the crank.
    Thanks

    I believe you have the motor frame stands on upside down and not 100% sure but they appear to be on the wrong side as well
