[coopdog]

I've orderend new mounts, what's the matter with that one then?


And yeah it was half price so I bought it :L

[l_jonez]

It's broke in half, the part left on the subframe should be bonded to the rubber

[coopdog]

ohhhhhh :L it did look like it was binded together with some stuff :L
and if it was working fine would i need to undo the bolts into the subframe?

With an engine mount even in perfect condition, you can either bolt the to your engine and lower it to the subframe holes and line it up. Or bolt it to your subframes and line the engine up to them.

I've always found bolting to the engine then lowering in is easiest

[coopdog]

I will keep that in mind fOr when it's going back in :)

Cleaned all the engine off today, now it looks alot better, but it's still dirty I think I'll do the worse parts when it's stripped so I can move it around easily,
Also got the head off and had a good feel of the bores and they had some lovely lips on them :L

Forgot my camera so crappy quality phone pics will have to do,
I will upload them after :)
