Engine mounts - best flavour currently?
Discussion
I fitted SC retainers with my engine mounts, I too found a nice smell coming from the engine, first thoughts the wiring loom was burning out, later found that the top poly cone had started to melt, I wrapped some heat reflecting material round the mounts fixed it with some garden wire, ‘jobs a good one’ no more smells..
ting the chassis directly underneath.SILICONEKID340HP said:
what do they do and will they fit the T car chassis do you know....??They look like extra support for the mount - do they affect the amount of heat / vibration passed from the car to the mount and vice versa?

Out of interest what type of issues do you get when the mounts are worn?
I have just retuned from Spa this weekend & over loose surfaces i get a metallic vibration noise i assumed was my drop links but could be my mounts which the rubber is looking worn.
Mine sheared the rubber off the metal, dropped the engine on one side, the torque reaction caused the belt pulley to saw clean through the swirl pot inlet pipe, lost all my coolant, head gasket went and a liner dropped into the crank. Oh, and the air intake had pulled off the filter (my AFM wasn't bolted down) so the engine had been hoovering up the road, some of the debris smashed a piston skirt and bent a valve.I have just retuned from Spa this weekend & over loose surfaces i get a metallic vibration noise i assumed was my drop links but could be my mounts which the rubber is looking worn.
Does that help?
£6000 rebuild or new engine mounts? Mmmm

There`s more movement on these engines due to the standard of tune and higher lift cams ..
