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 a engine hoist to the lift brackets and raise the engine slightly putting pressure on the engine mounts.
- Observe the engine mount while slightly lifting the engine. Lifting the engine removes the weight from the engine mount and creates slight tension on the rubber.
- Replace the engine mount if the engine mount exhibits any of the following conditions:
• | The hard rubber 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 engine mount is leaking fluid, if applicable. |
