This seems pretty sloppy to me - is there a bushing or something that's supposed to go in there? There was nothing in the holes when I pulled the motor 2-1/2 years ago. Thanks for any advice. Roger

Sometimes the bolts won't line up and you have to move/rock the engine slightly or move the trans tail left or right to get the bolts in and threads started. That why the holes are larger.
