Do you mean the nut on top or below the big pin (bolt) so YES! dont just tighten the top nut down. Your motor is out of line.
If your talking about the bolts that go into the block, yes tighten them suckers up.

The picture below shows the right side motor mount. The top nut was about 1/8 to 1/4" up. You can see the color change on the threads as to where it was. I also inspected the left hand side mount and this top nut is slightly loose. I have not touched this side yet, but in the second picture below you can see what I mean. Suggestions? What should I do? How can I align the motor again?

Actually the top nut being nylock is the same. Since the locking tab isnt bent over, the lower nut screwed itself down. raise the lower nut ( would be easier if you can take weight off the motor with a lift ) and check your alignment. Then make sure the tabs are locked so it doesnt happen again.
