Ok, so after a buildup of vibration I decided to replace the engine mounts. I got the exact same mounts as were on to begin with...so I would avoid any shimming that might have been necessary when it came to aligning the engine. Well, the new mounts are not compressed (since they're new) and the engine sits about 3/4" too high. Can't even consider aligning. The mechanic is suggesting grinding/planing down the engine beds, re-glassing and then installing the front mounts. In effect, creating a step in the engine beds. This sounds crazy to me, but what can i do. Any suggestions...please..
