it was long
This you could get away with for awhile without further damage. Motor mounts have a built in safety device to keep the engine in place when the rubber mount breaks.
There is a cover inside the engine compartment on the passenger side on the firewall.3 or 4 screws and it comes off. Once inside. One long screw holds the "squirrel cage" or round fan on. The problem is usually the electric motor that it mounts to. Swap out motor and or cage.
a B16? yes as long as you can get it with the ecu, the wiring harness, transmission, and the custom motor mounts(Hasport has them)
the front ones you can change buy just removing the plug wires and using the proper tool the back plugs you have to undo the front motor mounts and pry or pull motor forward ex ( i had to chain mine to a pole and back it up really slow with the mounts undone) do not try to do this with one persone i recoment using a come a long the motor will alow enuff movement for you to get at the back 3 plugs with tight space but it can be done. read your servace manual.
undo large bolt that goes through the motor mount and take the bolt out and jack that side of the engine up and replace the mount and lower down and reinstall long bolt and do the same to the other side, very simple to do.
ANY D series motor any B series motor with aftermarket motor mounts, shift linkage, axles, and wiring harness, f and h series motor with custom weld in mounts and axles, wiring harness and shift linkage..... practically ANY Honda motor as long as u have the proper materials and swap accesories
Yes it will go wright in with no problems. as long as the 1987 is a TBI and not a carburetor fuel system. May need to change exhaust manifolds and motor mounts,
You first have to unbolt the engine from the motor mounts and unbolt the engine from the transmission. You then will remove the motor from the truck to make replacing the mounts easier. The mounts should each be held down by four bolts going into the frame. Remove or cut these bolts to remove the old mounts. You can then install the new motor mounts.Answer 2.0 if you don't care for making it "easier": you can jack the truck up on one side, put stand under pulley on crank, lower truck onto it, as you lover or raise the jack you'll have good control over your bolts...go to local parts store and just read the book there.if it gets real bad , have vehicle put on a lift, take off the wheel, use long extension on impact driver by placing it in a wheel well. while holding motor up on tall stand.
it all depends on your skill level. on that year, the exhaust needs to be dropped and hung from the manifold, you have to remove the fan and shroud... and release the motor mounts so you can jack up the motor and remove the pan. a lift will cut your process time by a third.
You will have to remove the long bolts that go through the motor mounts and raise the engine up and support it / brace it so it don't fall and tear a hand off. Then you will have to remove the 3 bolts that hold the mount to the engine block. Now replace the freeze plug.
Well I'll tell ya, I have a 1992 Taurus and the mounts just went out around 220,000 miles this November 2007.
