Oh I messed up...Crash Bar bolt reinstallation

[scoop]

So I removed my crash bar from the K and didn't immediately reinstall the bolt that runs through the top of the motor. Now, it appears the engine has sank about half an inch downward. I tried jacking up the front of the engine to try to get the holes to line up again and could only get it part way there. I decided to come here before doing anything else that could further mess things up.

Any suggestions?

Slightly loosen the rear engine mount bolts.

Sorry for the late reply (also remodeling the bathroom) but your suggestion worked. It took a little fanangling but I got the bar back through.

Thank you for your help!
