Installation help with Engine mounts
Posted: Thu Sep 07, 2006 1:44 pm
Hi all,
Got a replacement set of engine mounts and was supposed to put them in
with a mechanic friend of mine but he cancelled on me. Now I am
looking at perhaps doing the job myself, but looking at it I have a
couple of questions I am hoping someone can answer for me.
First, it is the left hand side mount that is broken, just below the
carbs. I am wondering where to unbolt first. Should I unbold the
mount from the engine first or from the chassis first--or does it
actually matter.
Second, where should I support the engine. The only place I can see
is on the oil pan by puting a board under it and then carfully jacking
under it. Is there a better place?
Any other words of wisdom are appreciated.
