Clearing the oil pan and k member

engine probably moved to one side. slightly push engine to other side. also, you didn't tighten the motor mounts to the engine, did you? everything needs to be loose to line up
Yes I did, actually. We actually thought of this as a resolution, just needed some input. It came out fine but putting it back in is proving a challenge in lining this up. Our next method was to loosen mounts and guide them in to the holes. I'm just looking for tips to keep from smashing the pan in trying to fit this square peg in a round hole. Early a bodies are tight.
