Loosened motor mounts, motor won't raise

Loosened right and left top motor mounts, removed bottom motor mount bolt, need 1/2" of raising but motor and tranny won't budge. What did I miss?

Does it even rotate any ? Just removing the lower mount it should at least rock some....

I let it set with pressure under the motor with a jack and it crept up enough to clear the pan. Now I have to decide whether to re-use the synthetic pan gasket or use the new aftermarket cork gasket.
