I texted the PO about it, here's the convo...

Him:You are supposed to flip the trans insert over to lower that side of the engine, i had a hard enough time getting the new insert in the right way that i wasnt about to try it flipped

Me:Oh so it's just the insert?

Him: Yep and its a tight fit

Me: So it doesn't affect anything or wear anything out quicker how it is?

Him: No it doesn't. all I had to do was cut that part of the hood out to make it fit, the mounts are in there the way its originally supposed to be so to last as long as it always would have

Can you post pics of the engine and the mounts? I used to own a 2.4L Dohc Turbo neon, and am very familiar how these motors sit and should look.

If he put an insert in the mounts, all that means, to me, is to stiffen up the mounts. Mainly to account for wheel hop. This shouldn't however affect the way the motor is sitting. Unless he put in an insert below the mount??
