so im in the proscess of installing the outmotoring powerflex motor mount bushing kit. on the stabilizer onn the passanger side, the bushings do not seem large enough to fit in the larger hole. also, how do the bushings line up or fit togather? picturs would help andi need to get this back togather by 6 tonight. thanks

 

Did you also install the lower mount bushings at the same time? The upper engine and lower engine mounts look very similar. It would be a shame if you had them mixed up. The bushings are held in place by the bracket that slides over them, some people used large fender washers to help keep them in better. I'll be putting some fender washers in because the top mount is starting to come out as the engine's weight pulls down.

 

the lower ones in the dog bone fit well and tight but the one up top way way too loose. tomorro im going to try to swap bushings, i left them stock for the night.

 

how tight should the bushings fit in the mount

 

They should fit snuggly into the voids of the rubber. I have the Ireland Engineering bushings, so I guess I cannot generalize about all of the different makes. Did the bags come labeled? My IE bushings were in unlabeled bags with no instructions, but after test fitting them all, it was easy to tell which was which because of fitment.

 

they wer labledbut they go mixed up, im going to test fit in the other hole and see what happens. any torque specs?

 

There is no difference in size for the upper and lower mount powerflex bushing. The part #'s are identical. The smaller bushings are a complete replacement and you will need to remove the existing bushings to install them. The larger bushings are an insert that goes on both sides of the existing bushings.

 

ok so the purple ones replace the smaller ones and the yellow ones fit INTO the black ones? also, how tight do i make them bolts?

 

Correct. I just made them tight as I could with a 1/2 in breaker bar. Sorry, no torque numbers

 

I think 74 foot-pounds on all engine mount bolts. This is the highest torque setting that any bolt on the car has, if I remember correctly. I'm sure someone with the bentley manual available will let us know, mine is burried in the garage.

 

Correct, if it's the big bolts. The smaller bolts (attaching the holder to the oil pan) are only 24 lb/ft.

I think the big bolts have 16 or 17mm heads.

ok, 74 lbs on the bolts, powerflex bushings inside the originals. sounds good.

 

install is all set and i love the resaults. thanks for all the help

 

It's great isn't it? Better steering responce too. Did you put in the transmission mount poly bushings?

 

ya, great response, smoother shifts and tighter feel. no trans mount bushing yet, is it worth it?
