Alright I have a question I REALLY hope someone knows the answer too lol. The motor in my crv blew about two years ago and I had a shop put in a jdm motor I bought online. About 6 months ago I was changing the torque mounts(because the were completely shot and you could move the motor like and inch front to back, just using your hand.) Well when I was putting the new mounts on I realized there is a spacer or something that both sides do not have, and it leaves slop around the mounting stud. I couldnt afford to have downtime on my car so I had to go ahead and install them as is. Now my mounts are shot again and I want to get it fixed. Does anyone know of the "spacers" Im speaking of?

 

make sure you're putting the right mount on the right side and its turned the right direction. the mounts should have a arrow on them pointing for the forward direction or something like that.

 

left and right mounts are not same



look at Honda dealer online to see

if they blow out so quickly check the other mounts they might be blown out too

torque mounts don't do anything except stop the engine from moving more than 1/2 inch.

 

The other mounts have been replaced also, and they are still good. I think I figured it would though. Im pretty sure the spindle that slips through the middle hole in the mount is different on the jdm motor. The one on the car right now has flats spots on both sides and when you slide the mount on there is at least a 1/4 inch gap all the way around. So no matter how hard you tighten it, it will loosen up and you will feel the motor torque back when you accelerate. Ive looked up the normal replacement part and i appears to just be a solid round piece and a little bigger. Can anyone tell me if there is supposed to be a gap like that maybe?!

 

The driver and pass are on the correct sides and both have this gap, I guess I will just order the part and see what happens lol
