Engine and Upper Gearbox Mounts

[leedsboy]

Hi all,

Just got a new engine and Upper Gearbox Mounts. Replacing them tomorrow.

Quick question, is it easier to change a particular one before the other or just which one I want first?

Seen a few threads on doing them, doesn't seem like rocket science.

Thanks

either way, doesn't matter.

Thought as much ta.

For engine mount, cam cover bolts undone and off first then the mount bolts or other way round, or does that not matter either?

I already know to put jack on sump on a bit of wood to spread the load etc.

cover off first then take the mount off.

Done and replaced with a Febi mount.

Rubbers seem quite far over towards the engine rather than in the metal 'casing'. Didn't notice this on my old original oem mount.

Normal?

looks ok.

You should notice a big difference when there both done.

Just been for a quick blast. Seems much better and no gear stick wobble at all.

When changing the gearbox mount, it did seem to drop suddenly a shift slightly. Doesn't seem to have made any difference though.

Had to cut the drive short though as my engine bay stunk of fuel and when I looked it's leaking from the first injector between the rail and injector itself
