This may be dumb but im slowly learning my way working on my own car but do i have to torque the engine mounts. Like the torque struts whatever there called or do i just tighten it much as i can by hand
Thanks for the clear and concise video. You mentioned the oil seal replacement video, any idea when that will be? My car has the same oil everywhere on the mount
Probably within the next 60 days. I’m actually going to be doing the job within the week. I’m behind editing videos, but it’s coming for sure. There’s going to be a ton of content on this particular car.
This ad came on while waiting at the tire shop. Thanks for all the dirty looks. Lol The opening line “People dont believe me when i tell them shes 21!” Had to flip the phone around to show everyone it was a dog ad!!!! Lol.
No need to. They are designed to move/flex when the engine moves, plus they were getting replaced either way. If a mount breaks while jacking up the engine, it was either: -Already broken -Almost ready to break -You jacked the engine up too far - Good mounts should be able to take some abuse, but it IS possible to get carried away with lifting the engine...aka if the car is being lifted off of the jack stands, then you've gone too far lol.
@@arapartsthank you,I’m about to just do the engine mount because I didn’t know you should buy the whole set,gonna do em soon tho,I’ll loosen the trans mount so it doesn’t break and the top mounts look fine,still seems sketchy to me to not unbolt the trans mount if your gonna be jacking the engine up a few inches even if there new
Awesome and very helpful videos thank you!!
Thought I had an exhaust leak. Now 99% sure it's one of the lower mounts. Looking forward to the oil seal video!
Coming soon!
Great video Sir!

Did you loosen the transmission mount or the 2 top mounts before jacking up the engine?
