Default do my motor mounts need to be replaced?

ok, here's what is up, i have done an engine swap in my 94 prelude (h23a1 -> h23a) and after i got it all done, i was noticing i get waay too much movement in the engine, and it makes the downpipe and the front of the rest of the exhaust vibrate on the underbody. i was wondering if you guys thought that i needed to replace the motor mounts with stock ones, not going to race the car, or if i should just get inserts. i also just found out tonight that there is a certain order in my helms, and was wondering if that would contribute to the movement. sorry in advance if this has been covered i did search and all i found was mainly performance seekers and stiffer mounts, which i dont really need, just want the most comfortable ride possible.

the inserts would help alot. it would definately be cheaper then getting all new ones.

Also if they have the Ingall's engine Torque Dampener for you application. I tore my front mount on my 99 lude from engaging with my ACT Clutch. I installed the torque dampener and the engine is more stable. You can feel the difference.

i dont think they make an engine damper for 4th gens, i've looked. I heard we can use an accord engine damper with a few modifications? can someone else confirm this?

Yes, drill 1 hole larger on an NRG Accord damper. I've posted the pic of the one I used to have a bunch of times...

That's cool...the NRG damper is the same thing and it's less than 1/2 the price.
