this is a weird problem...ive posted about this before but now i have pics. first of all b18c1 in a 97 ek. but my engine isnt sitting in the compartment correctly..here you can see it leaning to the driver side..



and here you can see that the driverside mount doesnt match up with the bracket.



when my driverside mount broke off, this is how it was running for a couple of months..



i keep hearing that i need to get the driverside mount bracket from a 99 si, that is already on the car...then i was told to get the rear mount or the "L bracket". this one i have not replaced and maybe thats why the engine is leaning forward? i cant even move the engine back to make it fit. here is a crappy pic of the rear mount



i have the car jacked up and ready to go but i dotn know what i need from this point on.

thanks

 

Yes, you need the rear L bracket from an EM1 (99-00 Si) - that is your problem

 

ok fine, i need that bracket. so WITH that bracket, the engine should sit FARTHER back toward the firewall to match up with the mount?

 

Correct

 

alright well i just spent 80 bucks on the 99si driver bracket to get home and see its the same one thats on the car now. ill bring that back and get the bracket. i think that mount is shot also.

 

Ok so you got two threads for the same problem which is wierd but whatever. So it looks to me like the stud broke because the bolt was lose. Same with the mount stud too. Also you cant use the stock drivers side mount without a torque mount (I found this out myself). So you will need that torque mount or an aftermarket urathane replacement mount and body bracket. Hasport and innvative mounts make a direct replacement that works well.

 

Hey also your missing an exhaust bolt...

 

alright this is the part im looking at correct? number 7....

 

You are correct!
