i just got my es motor mounts and i went to install them
all was going great until i got the mount off and i see this


that bites...
its cracked....it goes all the way through
since i am still under warranty and i think my auto tensioner is out imma have them replace it
i assume there is nothing wrong with driving like this for alil while?

 

thats exactly what my mount looked like.. same one and all.

 

What's up with Honda OEM motor mounts? Got 2 out of three (front, driver's side) at 100k miles, and they want to rip apart already at 108k miles. Do we need to get the polyuretheane Energy Suspension inserts to get a little more reinforcement?

 

thats wat i was thinking

i think my jrsc might be pulling alil hard
oh well

 

So where exactly do the inserts go? I have to do this on the weekend...

 

it goes in the lil grooves

 

Okay so it's broken....say you didn't have warranty...wouldn't the ES inserts fix the problem anyway?

BTW you're gonna love tracking down all the rattles in your dash after the mounts go in

Yeah I am pretty sure the es inserts would be sufficient to "fix" the broken mount. No need to get it replaced unless it's just peace of mind.

 

imma fix it
y bother leaving it broken

 

Well especially under warranty....

But for me if I'm dropping a motor in, I don't have time to locate another mount...

 

Actually ES says that if you have a broken mount you are to replace it before you install the poly ones. Now it's up to you if you want to believe them or not. Personally I don't think it would hurt anything but I would replace it anyway.

Just put the ES mount kit it.... i have broken front and rear mounts, but the kit will tighten it all back up, don't spend money on a new mount..

 

yah the mount can be completely broken and the es mounts wont let it move so it doesnt matter. enjoy the rattles when your done! i got them and i dont mind the slightly more shaky idle....

 

i have the engergy suspensions mounts and it still vibrates like a bitch. fix it.... i fixed mine and its alot better

 

i have a full set of stock 97+ mounts..


give me a price shipped and ill sell them.. i dont need them i needed the 92-96 for my swa

 

i filled the mounts in my old accord with fiberglass bondo when i put the h22 in ..... it was cheaper and seemed to work really good..... the motor didnt move at all. i had to up the idle to 1000 cause it vibrated the car so bad

 

Damn, good thing you caught it.....

 

http://importnut.net/motormount.htm
and
http://www.homemadeturbo.com/poly.html
both sites about homemade mounts....

 

fiberglass bondo?... hmm... interesting....

 

**** works good..... i thought it might crack but when i took the h22 out to put the stock motor back in they looked just like they did when i made em..... i even painted em black to make em purdy

 

rattle rattle rattle... i wish i could adjust my idle to 950rpm. seems that the car doesnt resonate so bad at that speed with the mounts in. Anyone know how i could do that (the TB idle adjust wont go that high, anything out of spec and the idle is unstable, must be sensor conflicts when out of spec rpm range)?

oh yeah, this helped me out with my mount install, BTW be SURE you've got 1'+ extension for your breaker bar, you'll need it. unless you car doesnt have an engine like satan...

wouldn't JB Weld do the trick as well?

 

How difficult is it to replace motor mounts, on a scale of say, 1-10? I need to replace my front driver's side mount. Learning to drive manual on the car wasn't exactly good for it

 

bueller?

 

have the stock mount copyed at a machine shop and have them make the hole completely round( Get a urathane one from hasports tell them you have the older ef mount kit and need a replacement bushing there like 10 bucks) I think there close to the same thickness. No more cracking rubber mount!!
