When I changed the engine in my car I had a similar problem putting the engine back. It would not drop into the pin holes easily. I could get one side or the other to go in but not both. I took it back aways from the pins and started over. Picked it up slightly and guided the top into place suing the starter bolt and other bolt up top, then let it down. It feel right into the pin holes and closed completely up all around the joint with no problem.
