Is it bad to only put one new motor mount on? So my passenger side header is just hitting the frame and the back bolt won't line up. The header is like 1/16 inch to high for the the last header bolt hole. I'm thinking that this is because of my motor mounts being old and worn down. I am wondering If it would matter if I just put in one new poly motor mount on the passenger side since I already put the drivers side header on. I really don't want to take the driver's side off, but if I did, would I need a new gasket? Thanks.

And besides, the driver's side motor mount is *way* easier to remove and
re-install than the passenger side.
I went with the Prothane mounts - be prepared to open up the clamshell
casing to take out/put in the new mounts. This means you'll need a drill and
appropriate size bit(s), and at least a 4" hand grinder, to drill out/grind the
original rivets from the clamshell casing.
