Timing side engine mount different?

Just playing with the gvr4 tonight. I noticed that the timing cover mount is too close to the cam gears. So close, that the timing cover rubs against the cam gears. I had to really fight it to get it on too. IS there anything different from the 1g dsms to the gvr4 on that side? It just doesnt seem to line up perfect.

east to west mounts are the same but the north south mount brackets are gvr4 specific the mount iirc is 609 in front and I can't remember the rear # anymore.
 

hmm, Ill have to check that out then. Cause as of right now, there is no way the car can run with the timing cover on.

I'm a little confused, are we talking about engine mounts right now? Only the trans mount is different, and the front mount bracket is different. There might be driver's side mounts from other cars(maybe 1.8L or something) that don't work that you could have on there; why don't you post a pic?
