Every part of the 928 is art, including the motor mounts!








Fuel lines and intake will be coming soon.



Now, back to motor mountsl



What do you think of this? Will it work?



Lift with floor jack and support with this for pan gasket replacement.





And now, for the motor mount art, how's this?





Enogh for tonight. Break time!



More to come shortly.

Ahh, brief intermission.

I stared at that stack of stuff for a couple minutes trying to figure out what the heck you were doing.

Lizard928

Your motor support. I would add something so that the 2x4s cannot roll!

I don't know, maybe it's just me, but that engine support doesn't look too safe to me.

James-man

Like.

depami

They are not 2X4s, it is a 2X6 ripped in half and it is secured to the 4X4 with two 4 inch screws, counter sunk from the bottom up.

In the pictures shown, it is already holding the engine. I lifted the engine about 3/8" with the eye bolt. I will complete the lift with a floor jack and merely "hold" the engine with this apparatus.

James-man

Like the picture montage.

Glad you posted!

Imo000

So you are planning on having the entire weight of the engine sitting on that small washer. At least get a couple bigger ones or a larger steel plate to spread the load. The cable clamps are not exactly a safe idea either. At least get a rope and feed it under the rad fan bracket and over the wooden cross beam as a back up (in case the cable setup fails).

Here is PROOF



Do you think they are toast?



Not much difference, is there?



More 928 ART!



Can you find the motor mount?



I LIKE SPIDERS, do you?



OOPS, Break time again!



More later, bye for now.

In reference to the engine mounts. If you do what I did I cut the old locating pins off the oem mounts and correctly drilled them and then tapped them onto the new mounts so they fit like OEM. I have sent various suppliers emails about this and posted on this topic but don't know if anybody has followed through. Or what about this. Supply your mounts with the Porsche like dowls and then then can fit like OEM! I highly recommend this method any other way is just the bodge

Thanks for the tip, I got these from Roger and assume he sent me something that will work "strait away".

depami

Looks like I could use new rack bushings. I'll be calling you, Roger.





Is this boot ok? Can it be fixed or does it need to be replaced?



What is up with this? Can these bushings be replaced? Or, should I replace the whole link?



Thanks in advance for any advice.

Rob Edwards

Definitely replace the rack boot (and get the split delrin rack bushings from Roger). RE: The swaybar link bushing, I don't recall seeing replacement bushings just for them, and new links are $175ish, each.... Might be a good time to find some droplinks, like so:

Alternatively, someone who has already gone to aftermarket drop links might have a spare factory pair sitting around in good shape.
