That's what I'm trying to do, but how exactly do you get it out?? I got the thru-bolt undone(easy), then started to take off the bolts that attach the mount to the block and the only way to get it undone was to use a wrench and snake it up in there. Do you have to take the fuel pump and oil pump off the block?? I jack the engine up as high as it can physically go without any of the hoses and lines snapping, but there isn't enough room between the crossmember and the block to snake the round part of the mount out from the bottom.. |

I didnt have much trouble(after getting the bolts loose from the block) Did you leave the driver side mount off? this will alow you to move the engine towards the driver side and give you some much needed room. I cant remember if I loosened the trans mount or not. Frank |

Ahhhh, I have the trans mount loose but the brand new driver's mount was still on. I'll try taking the drivers mount loose and seeing if i can scoot the engine over, thanks! |

Glad that worked for you. Dont know what to say about the Noise or vibrations. Maybe just problems that were masked before??? Frank |

I guess.. whenever I put it in park or neutral and it's warmed up it literally shakes the car like it has a big cam in it... except the motor still runs smooth as a top and isn't misfiring?? Sitting still in drive, it's okay. Also, I have been chasing some oil leak that I think is coming from the fuel pump. I put a new gasket on it, but after a drive around the block there was oil dripping off the crossmember. What a PITA, I'm supposed to drive this car 500 miles tomorrow.

turns out that when i did the motor mounts, the engine leaned over and was resting on the fuel pump and cracked the casing.. another 25$ later and I have a new fuel pump on, but can't get the threads to stop leaking!! Ugh, I might just postpone my trip home tomorrow and have this car shipped instead of driving it. |
