Answer 1

You might need to lower the engine a little. You might be in a bind having too high. Then after bolts come out raise back up. Play with the engine height. You might need to go higher too.

Answer 2

Sorry dude, I hope you get it! I had one of those that I had in the shop, and $600 later, I had a new timing belt. Stupid foreigners. haha

Answer 3

You said you got the engine as high as you could. Well now it's to high. I wish you could take a picture and send it or post it that would help alot. Lower the engine not to low not to high then the bolts will be free to move. But I can't tell with out looking at a picture. I hope you measure how much the tensoner piston has extended when your done installing it.  

Answer 4

They dont come off they are a part of that engine mount. Ask me how i kno... cause my bolts atualy broke off!!! and i have to replace the whole engine mount bracket. :((
