if it still needs quite a bit of pressure to push in by hand then bearing fit might do it ...might be worth looking at chromed mounts or similar as the coating might be enough to make them a bit tighter?

swapped the mounts from one side to the other,and they weren't hand tight. very strange.
genuine sil mounts. may well just try bearing fit.
