Motor Mount Upgrades

[bobafett]

I'm glad this was brought up tonight, I've read post on it before but no one has really gone into details on the subject.
As far as the crap front oil filled mount, just pop a hole and drain the fluid out of it and then fill it? or clean it out first?

I did not even go that far, I just sort of lifted up the 'flap' and filled all the way around it. I didn't want to do 'too good' of a job and cause too many vibrations, but I think it turned out just right.

My description would be a thorough but lazy fill on each mount, I didn't go to great lengths to make it perfect.

I filled all the mounts except for the front. I just used a new oem there.

It hasn't broken after 30k miles of aggressive shifting, and I think having the one hydraulic mount on there helps the engine not completely shake my fillings loose.

Thanks bobafett and Struggle

so what... just fill in red parts? or the entire thing?

[bobafett]

I would only do the red part. I am racking my brain trying to recall what I actually did. I can't imagine I was willing to put in any effort to fill more than that.

[Strugglebucket]

Oh, I remember one thing I did on the rear mount. My old mount had worn so it kind of sagged at an angle, so after I filled it I put the base in a vice. Then I put a long bolt through it and hung a weight off of the end. Sort of moved the bolt out until the leverage from the weight was holding the mount at the correct angle. Then let it dry like that and it came out straight.

anybody got any pix? i think that would help a bit. even pix of stock mounts with red squigglies like what i did. just for a lil bit of reference...

[lostforawhile]

why doesn't someone start making the steel brackets to hold some of these excellent universal poly motor mounts that are being made?

[lostforawhile]

here's the energy suspension catalog page with specs on the universal mounts. http://www.energysuspension.com/pages/univ3.html

try a dog bone with solid aluminum inserts

I need one of those but a lil shorter than A20, can it be done?

[LX-incredible]

I plan on making a few sets for the A20 using hasport inserts. They will eliminate the torque rod (dogbone) and wind stopper. The bushings should be here tuesday or wednesday...

[itzdave]

whats the sind stopper?

[Civic Accord Honda]

i has poly fill for my mounts

[LX-incredible]

whats the wind stopper?

4, 5, and 6.

[itzdave]
