Merc 3.0L Front Motor Mount Question

I recently reinstalled the engine in my 1988 Searay after having some transom repair done. I'm having a problem with the alignment. We ran the adjustment nut all the way down and low and behold the engine and gimble aligned. The problem is that the front mount stud is high causing it to touch the pulley. I have a couple of questions:

Can the stud be adjusted up or down in the mount bushing (p/n 32833) or is the mount bushing worn out?

If I have to buy a new mount bushing (p/n 32833) how do I install it in the bracket?

Thanks
 
No the double wound washers are good and in place... I know that because I had the washers and spacers in the wrong place and had to lift the engine a second time:).
 
IMG_0395.jpgThe jack stud parts look ok. I think what is happening is the mount bushing is slipping in the bracket. How is the bushing installed in the bracket? Press fit? If so I have access to a 20T press.

Thanks
