    Engine sitting to low

    im almost done swapping the engine from my competition for a ABY with 6 speed but i have a problem. the engine sits to low, now i cant mount my FARB because its hitting the sump (7a sump). also the sump hits the subframe. are the engine mount from an rs2/s2 aby higher ? when im looking to the snub mount it seems that the engine need to lift 2 cm. anyone knows this problem ?

    are you using new engine mounts? If not they are probably collapsed

        Your problem might be the gearbox mounts pushing the gearbox and rear of the engine too high, what subframe and rubber mounts are you using?

          I have found that S2 engine mounts are taller than 1.8, 2.0, 2.3 and all typ85 engine mounts,
          I suggest get a set of S2 ones should sort it
