sounds like you got the wrong mounts. the 86.5-88 used a different mount than the 89-92 7ms. was a subframe revision to make the 1jz fit better. you will need to use mounts from the car its going into.

I think you're overthinking this-
He said(I think!) that he pulled the engine out, repaired it, and put it back in, no swap or anything.

It's easier if the mounts are on the motor, and not on the engine cradle, when you lower it in.

Do your trans mounts line up or is everything off?

Jack the trans up.

Holy f*uck this is funny. It's not rocket science man you got it out it goes back in just the opposite way.

Ok folks, this is the tech section, a couple of comments:

1. To the OP: I see you edited your initial post so it makes a little more sense, good. The quality of the question often drives the quality of the responses.

2. To everyone else: While the problem may seem obvious/silly to you, it's obvious the OP is having difficulty, if you're not willing to help, don't post. No more wiseass comments please.

Jack up the transmission and push the engine back toward the firewall. It will slip in the grove.

Take a picture of the mounts and post it so we can make sure those are the right mounts for your car.
