Default just changed mount....now have bad vibration

I just did my oil pan gasket, and while i was down there i asked the mechanic to change all the mounts. I was there helping with the install. everything seemed to be put back the right way. when i drove the car it seem like i had a wierd vibration and i seem to feel the vibrations more when i accelarate. Any idea what it could be? it did not do it b4.

when you do the mounts on this car you haft to lossen the engine mounts and let the engine settle in the mounts and than tighten the bolts

This may sound like a stupid question but do i loosen the one that attaches to the cross member or just the top or both? also for how long? sorry i never heard about leaving the mounts loose before lol

Yeah you always want to let the car idle and give it a little rpms to allow the engine to settle back into place before you tighten up all the mounts. You also want to make sure that the snub mount is not touching the housing around it, because if it is you will get major vibration.
