Im doing my motor swap next weekend, should I be concerned about the side Motor Mount and the Trans Mount ??

I know that the front and rear are the most important, and I have the ES all ready to go in. The trans mount is fairly new, filled will poly, but the engine mount is Original and Not touched at all.

What do you guys think ??

Any Torque down patterns for the Lower Intake Manifold ?? How about the exhaust manifolds ??

The poly is going to crack out of the tranny mount. At least it did for me. The movement of the engine is in the direction that the poly has no support. Mine cracked out in less than a week. The main mounts held up great using the same filling method.

As far as torquing that stuff I don't think its a big deal. I've never done it in a special pattern and never had a problem.

 

Yea all my poly came out of the trans mount. My main concern is the side motor mount. Should I replace that ?? or does it not do all that much in support ?>

 

I don't think you need to worry about it. I noticed no difference after mine cracked out. I can't imagine there is very much force on the axis.

 

Should I bother filling the Side mounts with Poly Fill ??? I just recieved my New Mounts from Nissan.

The Timeing chain mount was $116..eeekkk

You needed the passangers side mount? I take it you didnt get one with the DEK? $116 is crazy, i have one of those too.

I would leave the 2 side mounts stock. The front and rear poly mounts will be fine.

 

I might have an extra one I can ship to you for cheaper. I dont think you really need to poly it, there isnt as much force on those mount as compare to the fronts and rears. They are there more for support than anything.

PM or AIM if you are interested.

 

I got the both new nissan one in the mail today. I had my old one, 10 years and 140k miles, its not in too good of shape. I figure id buy two new side ones. I just was wondering If i should poly fill the new ones. Looks like no is the general concensus. For the fronts and rear I had ES pushed into two old mounts I bought. This new motor is gonna be a sweet setup
