Is is normal to be able to lift the motor about 1/2" or so up and down? I just replaced a bad mount and was.checking things out when I noticed the motor moves up and down on both rear mounts when I lift up with a pry bar. This normal? There's only one way to.put then mounts together from what I can tan tell....

That doesn't sound rite to me either.....
When bolted down, the rubber mount should hold it pretty snug only allowing the engine to move slightly through the softenss of the rubber. Are you sure you installed the top part of the mount correctly? so when the bolt is in and tight, it closes up on the bracket

That motor shouldnt move any if all the motor mounts are on the engine and hydrostats. If there all on there you couldn't yank it out of there with a chain and a truck I assure you.
