SR20DE Right Motor Mount
Plan of Attack
|
I used the
factory scissor jack with a wood plank and blocks to support the engine
beneath the oil pan. This jack offers much better control than a hydraulic
floor jack. |
|
The right
motor mount, or "front engine mounting", is secured with four
bolts: three into the engine and one through the insulator. |
|
The coolant
reservoir and seat must be removed to allow access to the motor mount
pivot bolt. The seat still remains in this image. |

Here's a view
from another angle. |
What a Difference
|
The old mount on
the left shows signs of cracking and collapse caused by 77K miles of hard
driving. The new part on the right boasts a superior pivot shaft and
broader mounting feet. I hope it is less prone to burst. |
