Last week I filled two old front/rear engine mounts with this stuff. It is a urethane windshield adhesive that cures up tough. After letting them cure for a week I installed them last night as I froze my ***** off.....unbelievable difference. No engine movement whatsoever, no engine rocking starting the engine, and now I can really have fun with the Centerforce DF, second gear lights the f%&k up as well as third.....if I really bury third I can get a scuff out of fourth. Anyways I reccomend this to anyone looking to put all their power to the wheels, regardless what year car/motor you are running. I left the side mounts stock since they were fine and they really dont control much movement anyway. It is $12 for a normal caulk-size tube. Allow a week to cure to be safe.

 

nice ..i plan on doing this when it warms up .....i hear that 2 days is enought time to cure ...with somewhat warmer temps

 

I let mine cure in my garage, which is heated. After two days it was decent, but after the week it was close to rock hard. It takes a while for the inside to fully cure. I figured why risk it after 1-2 days and have the caulk bust apart when I bang second....so I just waited.

 

Bye, Bye crank bearings...........

 

oh come on your not gonna beat that agin ...how would stiffer motor mounts have an affect on crank bearings.......i guess every guy with a eg/h22 will have crank bearing problems as well ....the 3m is a polyuretane...same as just about any mount kit you would buuyy for a swap ....i will agree on the crank pulley cause it make perfect sense as to why vibration would come into play ...but thats a direct linkt to the crank it self ....not trying to be a **** but i find it very hard to belive ....

 

How bad is the virbation after you stiffen up the mounts? Does the whole car seem to rattle more?

The softer motor mounts allow a little more cushioning during hard shifts. It's the Stunnarific 6-puck clutch on a bolt on motor barking them into 3rd shifts that will mess up the bearings. It puts a huge strain on the crankshaft when it's suddenly jarred from 7k to 5k. But, those lighting fast shifts are proabaly good for in upwards of .1 seconds in the 1/4 mile so... do what you want.

 

ok that i could understand....

its really amazing when you think about how hard we are on these motors....and just how strong they are...stock or not ..

so i guess in a sence ..a light flywheel would reduce he amount of long term damage to the bottom end ...
