Motor mount install

JRowlette · 02-11-2002, 12:40 AM

For about the last month or two, I have been having a pretty bad vibration whenever the rpm's get above 3k. I never could figure out what was causing it until this yesterday when I was checking the spark plugs and I felt one of the header primaries sitting on part of the motor mount.

My question is, how difficult is it to change them? I assume I will have to put a jack on the oil pan, but how should I go about this?
I just want to make sure I don't f*** anything up.

If you do use a jack under the oil pan, make sure there is a thick (3/4" or more) piece of plywood between the jack and the pan. You want the piece of wood to be as large as the surface of the pan, to help evenly distribute the load.

Take care,

All you should need are jacks, jackstands, a piece of wood as described by PKRWUD, and a 1/2" wratchet, sockets (shallow and deep well), and PB Blaster or WD 40. It's not really a big job
