Is this right???? Hmmmm

My engine is not sitting right. I see it at the fan clutch to radiator. The fan clutch is closr to the radiator at the bottom than the top, so i am wondering if the spacers go between the transmission and the mount to level the engine. I also have a driveline vibration im trying to fix. I cant find any diagrams or illustrations anywhere. Any help from you guys would be appreciated

The engine does sit at an angle.

Yes ,as stated above the engine sits at a rearward angle,about 3*.
I say the spacer goes between the tail shaft and the mount.Some cars have them, some do not.
Both of my cars have a spacer and they are there to correct pinion angle.
When doing pinion angle there are 3 readings.1 at the transmission output shaft yoke,2 the driveshaft it's self.3 at the rear pinion yoke.
Swap it around and see if your vibration goes away.It may be all you need.

He's saying... yes, the engine is supposed to sit at an angle. Tilted down towards the back. The fan n fan clutch will be closer to the radiator at the bottom.

The flats go where u got them. There is a flat plate that goes in between the mount and tranny. 1/16th to 1/8th thick. 2 holes in it for the bolts to go thru. Kim
