Driving My Car the Other day hit a dip pretty hard, later the week I hear a grinding noise coming from engine bay,
Proplem: 2 Bolts from motor mount Post Snapped Inside the Block, Motor Dropped Had to Tow it Home Jacked It up and only one bolt was hanging Loose, Cars Not Drivable becuauz Crack Pulley Hits crossmember and motor dropped,
Situation : Will I need to pull motor out to extract bolts? ??
Can it be Done With Limited Space or jacking up motor? ?
Any one have similiare experience please Help,
I am having a similar situation with the bolts. My mounts is bad and the B20z has been pretty beefy on the anchor bolts.
sounds like both of you are going to have to pull out the engine and extract itt
I would pull out the motor too just to be on the safe side and go over all parts needed to be replaced…
I would think that if you were too loosen both front and back mounts and jack up the engine at an angle, you would get a good angle on extracting them. It would also make taking the timing cover off much easier.
I’ve replaced all the engine mounts without dropping the motor, so its possible. I have one of these http://www.eagleequip.com/product/E7532.html which makes it a lot easier though.
I extracted 2 top Bolts, and Lower couldn’t get it out with a angle Driler,
Would the two top bolts hold the post mount or do I need all 3 bolts?
and I was thinking about Rethreading the hole with a tap and dye kit, and putting new bolts,
anyone know were I can get new bolts they dont seem to come up on acuraoem parts website its Bolt #20 I believe
the easiest way to do that would have been to weld a nut to the broken bolt
