You could remove the mounts, fill them with 3M Window Weld, let it set up for a couple of days, and put them back in.

You'd be surprised how good that is, and how much cheaper than the alternatives it is.

yes I agree, I did it to my completely shot mounts on my N/A and now my engine will not budge no matter how hard I dump it.

I have had them for a little bit and there still working.

You don't really upgrade the metal mounts themselves, just the bushing inside of it.

3M Window Weld is one option, however many V6 ppl LOVE the speedsource fully polyurethane engine motor mounts. Personally I have almost no extra vibration, no passengers have ever noticed it, what they did notice was the crazy throttle response and I noticed much crisper shifting.

Installing them is kinda of a pain because you need to remove both your front and rear motor mounts, I just used a torch and burned out the old rubber and punched it out with a hammer then put in the the new poly mounts.

ha bushings thats waht i meant srry still learning
v6er you used the window weld method with a 3vz?
is it as easy ascovering the old bushings or do i need to take the old ones out?
how did you guys fill the mount? i mean without makin a mess?

mattdouken · 11-05-2009, 03:02 AM

tape one side of the mount closed, fill from otherside, remove tape about 2 minutes after your done filling, and smooth both sides with a Spackle knife, let them dry for 10 hours.

mr2v63vz · 11-05-2009, 01:16 PM

And that's with the old bushing removed right?

mattdouken · 11-05-2009, 04:15 PM

nope, you leave the old bushing in and fill the empty spaces.
