So yep, pulled the engine today. I had to remove the rear engine mount from the rubber insert because it was pressing the motor against the AC lines, not fun. The helms manual says to replace the bolt that goes through the insert if its removed, but what damage could occur if I dont replace it, really? Hell, one of the rear bolts on the rear mount was rattling it was so loose, it cant do much harm. But thats why I'm asking you guys.

Oh yeah, one other thing. Theres been gas sitting in it for about 4 months, about 3\4 tank. I've heard stories about gas staying good for 2 years, but just wondering if it was still good.

 

Are you talking about the big long bolts? Either way, I don't see any reason to not reuse them. They are expensive anyway. Put some locktite on them if you think they will loosen up from vibrations.

 

Yep, those are them. Thier called "special bolts" in the helms. I'm not too woried about them, I'll just reuse. Now for the inserts, thier toast.

Thanks for the help.
