Important: Before replacing any engine mount due to
suspected fluid loss, verify that the source of the fluid is the engine mount, not
the engine or accessories.
- Install the engine support fixture. Refer to
Engine Support Fixture
.
Raising the engine removes the weight from the engine mount and creates slight tension
in the rubber.
- Observe the engine mount while raising the engine. Replace the engine
mount if the engine 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
