I've read the info on Greg Nichols site for replacing the engine mounts. I was wondering if anyone who has used the Anchor Industries 2698 mounts has an update on how they are working out. Also, there is a mention of a web site with pictures on doing the job. Does anyone have the link? My mounts definitely need replacing, and I believe I have a small leak in the PS rack so it is probably a good time to do them. I guess I should look at doing the oil pan gasket too. I don't have a way to lift the engine from overhead which is problem if I want to do the oil pan gasket. I just finished the timing belt replacement. I think I will wait a few weeks/months to do the mounts. Having bought the car back in February and not driven it yet make me more anxious to druve it with less enthusiasm for working on it now. Maybe I'll spring and have the work done by a real mechanic instead of doing it myself.

Good Luck, TJ

 

My oil pan is currently off. I lifted the engine with a jack and piece of wood under the oil pan, then removed the crossmember and engine mounts. I then took two pieces of channel iron and drilled holes in them that are the same distance apart as the bolts that attach the engine mounts to the engine. With those two pieces bolted to the engine in place of the engine mounts, I put jackstands under them and lowered the engine until it was resting on them. That will give you plenty of room to remove the oil pan without having to suspend the engine from above.

 

Thanks for the links and ideas for supporting the engine from below. Now I just have to get up the enthusiasm to do the job.
