Default Re: Engine Mount (Polyurethane Fill)

Put the E55 Engine Mounts in on Saturday.

Took us about 4 hours from start to finish.
Pretty much just followed the instructions in this thread. Thank you for the great write up TimeLord.

We went and borrowed an engine hoist, but ended up just jacking up the engine with a 2x8 under the pan. Old mounts came out fairly easily, but getting the new wider E55 mounts in took some doing. Had to rock the engine around a bit to give us clearance to get them into place. (We did not want to jack the engine up to high.) Once they were seated, the bolts popped right in. Just have to be sure to line up the little tabs on the top of the mounts into the notches on the engine as you lower the engine down on them.

My shifter **** still has a little bit of movement during acceleration. Possibly because we did not change the tranny mount yet???
