Took the mount out to put lower timing belt cover on put it back the engine can be moved back n fourth with one hand the mount is fine. I just have done something wrong both those little black things on each side are in place TQ'd the **** out of the mount it's self.(big 17mm bolt) still wiggles had this issue before when I did the timing belt, my tuner fixed it when I had the car over there to have something looked at. is a real pain to drive the car shakes you pretty hard whenever you shift up/down. could use some help.

 

102 views. Guess I'm not the only one that can't figure out what the hell you are talking about.

 

^^ amen

 

^shall post vid....

 

ok so the big bolt that goes threw the mount just turns freely I can get it out but I won't "tighten" really

 

take pics. myself and others are very familiar with these cars

are your engine mounts torn? if you're talking about that upper mount on the timing cover. there's a welded on nut in the frame. if you stripped that you will need a longer bolt and another nut

what kind of shape are your axle mounts in. with only that mount missing the engine should still be pretty tight as both axles, the rear and trans mount will be in place

fyi the rear mount and the axle mounts are the most common to tear. the energy suspension insert set really increases their life and won't shake you to death like avid or those solid race mounts.

 

Well here's why I couldn't tighten the bolt afaik the nut that's welded to the post(or w/e it's called) is ok I hope those thredas aren't from the nut . it's not the mounts I had to replace them when I got the car last October and the car sat for the winter it was fine I just did something wrong(not the first time that's happened lol)

Edit: new bolt coming in at Honda on Tuesday gonna run me 7$+ lol ohh well.

 

Ok so got new bolt in still same **** it's the bolt welded on to the (post ?) think im just going to leave it I don't have enough to go get things welded atm

 

It looks to me like it was stretched, and then it shredded the welded nut when you pulled it through. If you're cash strapped break off the welded nut, sand it smooth, and install a locknut and lock washer.

Edit: and don't over-torque next time! Torque specs are what they are for a reason.

 

good idea ! thanks ya I'm pretty broke with school and the non stop problems with this "thing" lol (I love the car tho). take a hammer to it ? I have a good angle grinder but that may just be overkill ?

 

I've never had to do it, but I think you can just rip them off with a giant breaker bar. You'll need to smooth the surface though so you might need to break out the grinder anyways.
