You're not gonna want to hear this but... I think the header has to be off to be able to raise the engine enough to get the new mounts in.

It's been over a month since I installed the Delta and my memory is horrible so someone please correct me if I'm wrong but I seem to remember that the tail of the header bumps the bottom of the car as you raise the engine. I learned this the hard way. I remember lots of swearing. I bit the bullet and took the new header off again as my mounts were split as well. I think I was lucky in that I had not put all the bolts on the header yet.

On the plus side, I guess it's better than having to remove the engine. Oh and don't forget to loosen the transmission mount. There wasn't much left of mine after I forgot to do that.
