The practice of loosening the engine mounts and re-centering them is referred to as "neutralizing" the mounts. It's a common practice used to counter noise/vibration/harshness issues for new cars under warranty. On automatics, it's easy: loosen mounts, start engine, reverse-drive-reverse-drive-park, re-torque mounts. On manuals you can do a partial clutch release in the same manner, or a floor jack and a block of wood can be used to slightly lift and re-center the engine. no big deal.
