Engine Mount Inspection Front
Notice: Broken or deteriorated mounts can cause misalignment and destruction
of certain drive train components. When a single mount breaks, the remaining
mounts are subjected to abnormally high stresses.
Notice: When raising or supporting the engine for any reason, do
not use a jack under the oil pan, any sheet metal, or the crankshaft pulley.
Lifting the engine in an unapproved manner may cause component damage.
- Raise the engine in order to complete the following tasks:
| • | Remove weight from the mount |
| • | Place a slight tension on the rubber cushion |
| • | Observe the mount while raising the engine |
- Replace the mount if the following conditions exist:
| • | Heat check cracks cover the hard rubber surface |
| • | The rubber cushion is separated from the metal plate of the mount |
| • | There is a split through the rubber cushion |
- If the mount is loose, lower the engine and tighten the bolts
or the nuts to the engine frame or the bracket. Refer to
Fastener Tightening Specifications
