GTP Engine won't roll back to normal position.

:banghead: OK guys I have a question. I just got done putting a set of TOG headers on my GTP. When I went to roll the engine back to reattach the upper mounts the engine will not roll back to the normal position. Is there a secret to getting this thing to roll back into position. Nothing is binding that I can see either on top or underneath, it just won't roll back. By the way it is a 1997!

The only thing I can suggest is the following:
The car must be down on all four wheels.
Put tranny in park.
Release emergency brake. Must be disengaged.
With someone helping, you have to rock the car either forward or backward and the engine should level itself out enough to get the two forward engine mounts reconnected.
If above fails, you'll need an engine hoist to help out.
Good luck!
