Kofyi,

The secret I found last week, is to make sure the left wheel is hanging,
not jacked up, and to lower the engine a few inches, as measured at the
motor mount. The cover also goes _around_ the stabilizer bar, not
between it and the motor.

Now write it down so you'll know for next time !! Also, owning a good
17mm deep socket is worthwhile, for the motor mount.
