The engine strap is required for NHRA gas classes before you may
pass pit inspection at the drags.

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?

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.
