REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

Engine Insulators

 

2.3L Engines

These procedures apply to a RH or LH installation.

NOTE: Whenever self-locking mounting bolts and nuts are removed, they must be replaced with new self-locking mounting bolts and nuts. Prior to installing new self-locking mounting bolts (adhesive on threads), hardened residual bolt adhesive must be removed from the engine block bosses with an M10 X 1.5 bottoming tap.

 

Removal

  1. Support the engine using a wood block and jack placed under the engine.
  1. Remove the through bolts retaining both insulators to the No. 2 crossmember pedestal bracket. On convertible, remove nuts.
  1. Disconnect shift linkage.
  1. Raise the engine sufficiently to disengage the insulator from the crossmember pedestal bracket.
  1. Remove the bolts retaining the insulator and bracket assembly to the engine. Remove the insulator and bracket assembly.
 

Installation

  1. Position the insulator and bracket assembly to the engine. Install the retaining bolts. Tighten to 47-63 Nm (35-46 lb-ft).
  1. Lower the engine into position. Ensure that the insulators are seated flat on the No. 2 crossmember. Hand start bolts, lower engine completely, then tighten through bolts to 97-133 Nm (72-98 lb-ft).
  1. Tighten insulator-to-crossmember nuts to 98-144 Nm (73-106 lb-ft). On sedars, tighten insulator-to-crossmember bolt to 47-63 Nm (35-46 lb-ft).
  1. Install shift linkage.
 

5.0L Engines

The front supports are located on each side of the cylinder block. The procedures given apply to either a RH or LH installation. Whenever self-locking mounting bolts and nuts are removed, they must be replaced with new self-locking bolts and nuts.

 

Removal

  1. Remove fan shroud attaching screws.
  1. Support the engine using a jack and wood block placed under the engine.
  1. Remove the nuts attaching insulators to the No. 2 crossmember.
  1. Disconnect shift linkage (AOD transmission).
  1. Raise the engine sufficiently with the jack to disengage the insulator studs from the crossmember.
  1. Remove transmission brace attached at RH engine mount bracket, if so equipped.
  1. Remove the engine insulator and bracket assembly to cylinder block attaching bolts.
  1. Remove the engine insulator assembly.
 

Installation

  1. Position the insulator assembly on the engine and install the attaching bolts. Tighten the bolts to 60-81 Nm (45-59 lb-ft).
  1. Attach transmission brace to RH engine mount bracket, if so equipped. Tighten nut to 60-81 Nm (45-59 lb-ft).
  1. Lower the engine into position. Ensure that the insulators are seated flat on the No. 2 crossmember and the insulator studs are at the bottom of the slots. Start the insulator-to-crossmember nuts and tighten to 98-144 Nm (73-106 lb-ft).
  1. Install the fan shroud attaching screws. Tighten to 3-5 Nm (27-44 lb-in).
  1. Connect shift linkage (AOD transmission).
