old skool freestyler Posted January 12, 2008 Report Posted January 12, 2008 to day i went to put my engine in my car and firstly i think the engine mounts are wrong not sure thow i brought them of ebay and it said 1600sport for xflow but the engine is sitting over a inch to far back bulkhead wise and the sump is sitting on the crossmember. do these look right for a 1600 crossflow? but i can hold the engine up on the hoist to the right place and all the mounts line up just the engine mounts are to short any suggestions will be great thanks
cjay2004 Posted January 12, 2008 Report Posted January 12, 2008 im no expert , but they look right to me , only thing that dont look right is the thickness of the rubbers?, but hard to tell just from a pic? BTW they are handed L/H + R/H, couldnt tell ya of the top of me head which one goes on which side though......
old skool freestyler Posted January 12, 2008 Author Report Posted January 12, 2008 longer one on drivers side i think but i tryed swapping them on to oppisite sides
