Changed: Bad Motor mount!, Need torque specs! Options

[blu94gt]

Ok, changed my topic. Popped my hood and took a quick look, it was obvious: Bad motor mount. Sorry for the crappy cell phone pic in the dark, but can you see how the engine is leaning toward the passenger side? The timing cover is pretty close to resting on the side of the mount.

What brand and where should I order new mounts? I figure I'll just knock all of them out at the same time.

you "might" be able to lower the engine enough to get in there with a drill....your gonna be 90% of the way to pulling the motor/tranny by the time you get there, tho, your gonna have to pull the crossmember, and f+R mounts, disconnect the exhaust (you may not HAVE to, but you'll prolly ruin your flex pipe if you dont) and possibly fuel lines ect to get it low enough.
even then, i dunno if youll be able to get it down enough.
good luck!

as for what caused it, thats usually pretty easy, one (or more) of the 3 bolts wasnt torqued down properly, and worked itself loose from vibration, and the others snapped under the stress.

if one of the 2 has meat sticking out of the block, concentrate on getting it out first, it'll hold with 2 bolts and loctite.
dont ask how i know.
