ES Motor Mounts : Install - Honda Prelude Forum

E_Luder · 08-21-2005, 07:20 AM

Can anyone point me to instructions on the web on how to install motor mounts? I need specific instructions plus torque specs.
I took a look in my Honda Shop manual briefly but couldn't find it.

Thanks

Just go by feel, trust your feelings. You'll be okay. Gudentight.

It's just like tightening wheel lug nuts. You know how tight to make them just by feel.

hahaha, that sounds fitting.

seriously, you dont need the torque specs.. just tighten them down as much as possible..

Just incase anyone wants to know

Front Motor Mount (Page 5-27 Shop Manual)
3x14mm bolts on the block = 28 lb-ft
3x17mm bolts on the frame = 69 lb-ft
1x17mm bolt which goes through the bushing = 47 lb-ft

If you tied them down as much as you could you might want to correct the 14mm bolts as 28 lb-ft would be the maximum pull for an 8 year old.

Thanks for the help guys.
