Motor Off Center

The front motor mount stud is not centered side to side in the hole in the cross member. Because of the offset, the smaller diameter of the bronze bushing will not seat in the hole by less than 1/4".
Can I use a small bottle jack between the frame and the front of the motor to push it over 1/4"? If so, what do I need remove/loosen first? Everthing needed to jack up the front of the motor is already off.

You should loosen the rear motor mount bolts, then jack the engine over and see if that corrects the problem. Re-tighten the bolts.
