Important: Before replacing any engine mount due to
suspected fluid loss, verify that the source of the fluid is actually the engine mount,
not the engine or other accessories.
- Install the engine support fixture. Refer to
Engine Support Fixture
. Raising the engine, will remove the weight from the engine
mount and create a slight tension in the rubber mount.
- Observe the engine mount while raising the engine. Replace the engine
mount if the mount exhibits any of the following conditions:
| • | The hard rubber surface is covered with heat check cracks. |
| • | The rubber is separated from the metal plate of the engine mount. |
| • | The rubber is split through the center of the engine mount. |
| • | The GLYCOL™ fluid is leaking from the engine mount. |
- If there is movement between the metal plate of the engine mount and its
attaching points, lower the engine on the engine mount. Tighten the bolts or nuts
attaching the engine mount to the frame or engine mount bracket. Refer to
Engine Mount Replacement - Left Side
or
Engine Mount Replacement - Right Side
