MAJOR PROBLEM with drivers side engine mount
was out of the country for a month, so when i got back yesterday i was excited to work on my car. buddy and i put on a header i picked up for cheap, and while we were working discovered this... mount bolt is gone, and mount seems to be gone with it. it was bad when i left the country and my parents and sister drove it a handful of times, but i didnt think it would get to this point this quick. question is,
A. should i just go and buy a mount from honda?, or...
B. look online for an aftermarket mount?
any suggestions would be appreciated, all the other mounts seem to be fine...just this one, weird for a 5 year old car.

If you are worried about that engine mount going again get a hasport or place racing engine mount. These will out last the oem by far, but you will experience much more vibrations.
So, it's you call man.

Re: MAJOR PROBLEM with drivers side engine mount (lowlight)
go buy aftermarket cuz they add up to about the same price i have broken to factory ones. of the same mount withing 2 weeks of dropping my ls motor in my hatch ... same price better results.. i have avid racing mounts all around now.. but my bell housing is still broken so im missing 2 bolts on the lower bracket of the tranny my engine still moves... but the mounts are not breaking anymore.. until i can find a new bell housing to drop in my car..

Yes you can have an aftermarket engine mount and others still be oem, if that was your question.

Re: MAJOR PROBLEM with drivers side engine mount (civic-rmod)
yea u can run the factory other mounts they dont usually break, from my experience though the drivers side one is the pain in the butt. if u change all the mounts ur car will rattle really bad especially if ur car idle is off. experience.. ha anyways.. my mounts for the whole set it was 350 and well worth it the hardest one to replace is the rear mount..

alright, well ill look into getting an aftermarket mount, best way to install is just support the block from the bottom, err oilpan, and just remove whatever is in way, and then replace mount? any other tips?

usa a jack undeer the oil pan with maybe something soft between the jack and the pan then jack it up.. and unbolt from the engine and take out the mount and replace its real easy dude.. but the mount may be shaped a bit differnt it may be flat .. if it is then u will have to make sure u put it on correct and the mount is flush on both sides.

Re: MAJOR PROBLEM with drivers side engine mount (lowlight)
dont waste ur time that one mount cost way more from honda go to a performance store.. maybe buy the bolts from honda and that is all.. O yea one more thing u may have to swap the stock bolts that stick up on the drivers side mount to normal smaller bolts for the mount to sit flush if i get pics of mines i will put them on here for u..

went around to several different places today, and found out that honda had the best deal, paid 98.98. took all of 5 minutes to reinstall and everything is running well now. thanks for all the help.
