hey guys, was test fitting my new engine today when i noticed that where the mount bolts to the block is cracked, and been stripped out, heli-coiled, and those have been stripped out. let me know what you guys think.





if it is a waste, and i need a new one, will all the stuff from it bolt to a b16? or another b series? cause i know gsr motors are hard to find..

 

it's not trash but will require larger tapped holes, the cracked side looks to be able to accept a bit of welding for tapping to a larger hole as well...your engine mount might require some larger clearance holes double check all of that...

 

i think im just gonna bring the motor back to where i got it and go buy a crx locally.. i don't really have the money to be spending on this right now..

 

very well then glad to have offered some help take care comrade

 

you can fix that with around 40 bucks...

 

thanks Lubo_25, i think thats what i would do if i had more money, but my budget ran out..

 

Yes, it can be fixed without a lot of expense.

i would never mess with a block that has any problems like this. ruins the intergrity of the block. just my opinion. i seen to many bad things happen with that particular mount

 

JB WELD!

i believe it happened when the car was wrecked.. it was hit behind the pass. side axle, but im pretty sure the frame warped, and tore this mount apart... i wouldn't want to disrupt the integrity of it, either... not pushing the power that motor has in it..

 

wow that looks familiar!! This is from hitting a gaurd rail head on at about 25mph...

I was going to have it welded, but they told me I would have to strip the block completely down, cause when you weld aluminum it will get soo hot all the seals and plastic will melt.... So I said F it and got another bare B16 block for $50.



theres only 1.5 miles on this motor, this happened on the test run.. hit a patch of ice and that was the end...

 

hammer time

 

ouch.... that sucks, man...
