Engine mounts on a KR block

[randal 0]

Hello,

 

I want to change my engine mounts this weekend, and was wondering what is involved? I'm guess the usual jack the engine etc.. Is there anything I should watch out for, or any caveats? Plus, can anyone recommend a good set of mounts and where from?

Just checked GSF for part prices -

 

10144 ENGINE MOUNTING-FRONT CO 4 Cyl 9/88 > 23.50 Add

10144B ENGINE MOUNTING-FRONT(BQ) CO 4 Cyl 9/88 > 37.50 Add

 

Anyone know what BQ means?

Best Quality?

I know there are often different quality/suppliers for these type of parts, I got a cheapo one from Euro car parts a few years back and had no trouble, gearbox one too - not that the original had worn in 120,000 miles from what I could see, doesn't get very stressed like the front one.

I did the gearbox one on the drive with a jack under the sump (and a block of wood!)

pretty easy although a bit fiddly getting the new one in for some reason, only two bolts it's just getting at them that's the problem.

The front I did on a four poster ramp with a jack under the engine, have to be careful not to jack it too far and damage the rad etc.. it should come out without having to take anything off the engine though.
