    2V Engine Mounts

    Had a vibration in car last 2-300 kms of driving I believe is the PS engine mount. I did driver-side 12000km /12 years ago in my grandparents single car and remember I cussed and bled a lot. Anyone got any tips for the passenger side install? Should I be pulling starter? Exhaust? Plan is to use a block of wood and jack to lift engine because I cant recall who last borrowed my engine support bar.

    Wheels are two summers old. Mount is suspect because engine appears to be leaning to PS side, vibration isn’t constant with speed but seems more load dependant, worst being after accelerating to 100-120kmh then letting off throttle. Also I have the mount because I bought the pair from Ford back in 2011 but changing driverside then solved my issue so I got lazy and didnt swap both so its a “free” fix if it works.

    Pretty sure you can reach with starter in place.

    Had to pop starter off. Couldn't snake any manner of wobbles, extensions or stubbies behind starter to get that rear block to mount bolt. Once starter was hanging I could put a deep socket and a long 90t ratchet in there and get it off.

    Also mount was totally FOOKED. When I lifted engine hunks of rubber came falling out. Legit was doing nothing in there. Wonder if thats why I had such a nightmare time changing PS valve cover gaskets…

    Valve cover gasket is not pleasant under any circumstances.

    Oh come on now. I did one when the engine was on a stand. That was almost tolerable…

    Glad it was obviously the problem. Nothing worse than opening something up only to find out it wasn’t the problem.
