Engine Mount: Testing and Inspection

Engine Mount Inspection

Important: Before replacing any engine mount due to suspected fluid loss, verify that the source of the fluid is the engine mount, not the engine or accessories.

- Install the engine support fixture. Refer to Engine Support Fixture Removal and Replacement.
- Observe the engine mount while raising the engine. Raising the engine removes the weight from the engine mount and creates slight tension on the rubber.
- Replace the engine mount if the engine mount exhibits any of the following conditions:
- The hard rubber is covered with heat check cracks.
- The rubber is separated from the metal plate of the engine mount.
- The rubber is split through the center of the engine mount.
- The engine mount itself is leaking fluid.
- For engine mount replacement.
