Motor question

Can someone tell me if the motor should sit level or slightly lower on the passengers side.
Thanks

Don't use the cowl to determine this! Get under neath and lay something straigh on the botton of the frame rails, under your motor. The bottom of the oil pan should be paraliel to your straight edge. The Viper motors tend to creep up on the right side! That's from no pin in the stock right motor mount like the left one to hold it in the slot of the frame cradle.

I can visible see the drivers side is about 1/2 inch higher then the passengers side. I put a level on top of my ROE and its defiantly out of level.If I loosen all mounts and level it up I should be ok ?

Chuck, are you talking about that stubby pin like the one in pic below? Both of my OEM mounts had these pins when I replaced them.

Losen the right motor mount nut [bottom nut], then with a pry bar push the nut down to the bottom of the slot, then retorque to 85 ft lbs. Now the motor should be level with the frame NOT the ground.

Tony yes those.
