Grimmy 312 Posted March 19, 2013 Just a small cam , 10-1 comp . Nothing really , I can't figure out why the drivers side one broke . I don't go backward very oftern Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xSMOKEx 47 Posted March 19, 2013 my old xd 351 used to have this problem but was always passenger side , bought new cheap ones then wielded a plate so there was no flex solid mounts , was same as bolting a engine to the chassis, was good for a temp fix thou i never really minded the engine vibration. just a bit more personality to the car.as i said only a temp fix . not a solution to the existing problem.stranger part was it never broke them with manuals , always broke them with auto's figure that 1 out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slydog 7,873 Posted March 19, 2013 what have you done to engine? lol mines turbo'd and the stock mounts hold. His is NAT ASP which is ALOT more severe than a boosted application on launch unless it's transbraked.I used to brake mounts in my ute when it was manual too.Rolling burnouts and dropped clutches kills boxes and mounts and stuff pretty quickly.

Crazy2287 1,886 Posted March 20, 2013 If its the bolts your worried about then usually you drill them out and fit a bigger bolt that joins the 2 halfs. If its the elastomer thats tearing id recommend an engine damper. That woudl be the next thing id tink about trying anyway. Just IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crazy2287 1,886 Posted March 20, 2013 (sorry for double post, the work PC's hate all the java stuff and i cant open the editor)<br /><br />The damper will work like a shocky and limit the max travel of eng movement. If the rubber is tearing it must be reaching ti's max deflection and the damper should help with this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xg ute 9 Posted March 24, 2013 I have used braided earth strap on a xf that used to break the mounts. Now that im old I havnt torn any on my turbo xg. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neil Armstrong 92 Posted March 24, 2013 There was a thread on Xfalcon, of a guy who fabricated his engine mounts, wouldnt really be 2 hard if you ask me, you have the 3 bolts that hold the plates on the crossmember, then the 3 holes that hold the engine mounts onto the side of the block, could easily fabricate something with a big fat noathane bush on it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
