Engine Mounts: Order of Replacement
Chime in with your expertise: When you've replaced engine mounts have you attached the mounts to the crossbar first, the engine attachment points first, or have you punted and let someone else do it for you because you got frustrated with Porsche's "engineering"?
Seriously, looking for the best process. And, go... |
Of course, check Clarke's garage. Last time I did mounts. I bolted up cross member with mounts attached. Then, with engine suspended with a cross bar above, I was able to use a pry bar or something to budge the engine into place enough to get the little bolts in. Wasn't that hard.

However, if someone has THE reassembly process down to a T, I'm all ears. TIA, seriously. |
Yes with everything loose and the mounts bolted to the subframe, with a pry bar it's hard but not crazy difficult to pop them into place.

I found it helpful to have someone prying on the engine from above while I pried on the mount (loosely bolted to the crossmember) from below.
