CJ six cylinder motor mounts
 

Which ways up? The stock mounts have a flange (or what I might call a
saddle) on one end that the rubber sets on. I assume that would be on the
bottom?

Re: CJ six cylinder motor mounts
 

They alternate. Those are 'torque hooks' and limit the amount of twist
the engine can put on the rubber of the mount so they don't get torn off
too fast.

The driver's side one is hook down and the passenger side is hook up.

Re: CJ six cylinder motor mounts
 

The motor will roll to the drivers side under acceleration?

Re: CJ six cylinder motor mounts
 

Big time!

I tear aftermarket mounts lots. The OEM ones from the dealer seem
stronger....

They make 'bullet proof' mounts, but they cost a pretty penny.

Re: CJ six cylinder motor mounts
 

The passenger side won't fit hook up... hits the oil filter. Now what?

Re: CJ six cylinder motor mounts
 

You have the wrong oil filter in it, two can fit. The proper one stops
about 1/4" short of the mount hook.

Re: CJ six cylinder motor mounts
 

And besides that, now that I have started it, mine rolls to the passenger
side when I accelerate.

Thanks for the help anyway Mike, "torque hook" makes since now. Maybe
motors roll opposite in Canada. :-)

Re: CJ six cylinder motor mounts
 

I missed or read wrong your 'roll to the drivers side', I was distracted
by some friends, the fan spins that way, the motor rolls the other way,
hence the hook on the top of the passenger side mount and on the bottom
of the driver side one.

Torques to the passenger side, that's why the divers side is the

This doesn't apply to the v8, because I went to the dealer and they showed
me the manual with both hooks up top. Unless the dealer is wrong?

Mine fit best with both hooks down... I figure that covers forward and
reverse torque.

Re: CJ six cylinder motor mounts
 

Mine fit best with both hooks down... I figure that covers forward and
reverse torque.

Re: CJ six cylinder motor mounts
 

The hooks have to be in the direction to hold the torque if you off road
or you 'will' tear the rubber off fast. Just street driving will likely
be fine, maybe?

They must alternate with the passenger side hook up.

Jim needs the right oil filter in his Jeep.

The Dealer's book has a mis print.

There is a bar across the bottom of the engine to hold it in when the
mounts break. The mount hooks are for torque only.

Really. Been there, the passenger side mount lasted 2 weeks when I put
it in hook down to 'catch' the engine if the mount broke again because
with the hook up and broke, my short filter got punched out by the mount
when the engine dropped.

I was wrong. The Haynes Manual shows it right.

There is serious torque on them off roading. My new one has a badly
bent hook already from the torque it sees. I explode hubs and stuff too
so I guess I off road kinda hard but still.
