Re: CJ six cylinder motor mounts
When the motor rolls to the passenger side at acceleration, it seems to me
the hook need to be down on the passenger side to catch that roll.
This is the way I have them:
(drivers side) frame|_motor_| frame (passenger side)

Re: CJ six cylinder motor mounts
Think again.....
I know it's confusing as ----, I had to double check in the day totally
sober to make sure, you had me wondering even. LOL!
The engine rolls toward the passenger side. This means that side moves
down.
The hook's loop is at the top on the engine side of the rubber mount to
catch it from moving down too far. The hook 'pin' that catches it is on
the frame side pointing up.
Same deal on drivers side. The engine will lift up on that side so the
hook loop is on the bottom engine side to stop it.
As mentioned I tried it with both down and tore the passenger side one
right away so the engine lifted up in reverse.
I just looked in daytime and 'both' of my 'loops' are bent pretty bad
and I am already starting to crack the rubber on that passenger one.
My Haynes manual also shows the mounts this way for the 6, the 8 and the
4 although the manual is wrong on the drawing. The drawing shows the
hook loops on the frame side when in fact they fit on the engine side.
It shows them point the right direction, just a mirror of what they are
really.
Now if 'your' mounts have the hook loops on the frame side then they go
opposite what I have been saying. They still must alternate one up one
down though.

Re: CJ six cylinder motor mounts
Think again.....
I know it's confusing as ----, I had to double check in the day totally
sober to make sure, you had me wondering even. LOL!
The engine rolls toward the passenger side. This means that side moves
down.
The hook's loop is at the top on the engine side of the rubber mount to
catch it from moving down too far. The hook 'pin' that catches it is on
the frame side pointing up.
Same deal on drivers side. The engine will lift up on that side so the
hook loop is on the bottom engine side to stop it.
As mentioned I tried it with both down and tore the passenger side one
right away so the engine lifted up in reverse.
I just looked in daytime and 'both' of my 'loops' are bent pretty bad
and I am already starting to crack the rubber on that passenger one.
My Haynes manual also shows the mounts this way for the 6, the 8 and the
4 although the manual is wrong on the drawing. The drawing shows the
hook loops on the frame side when in fact they fit on the engine side.
It shows them point the right direction, just a mirror of what they are
really.
Now if 'your' mounts have the hook loops on the frame side then they go
opposite what I have been saying. They still must alternate one up one
down though.

Re: CJ six cylinder motor mounts
Are you saying to install them like this:
Passenger side:
http://members.***.net/85cj7/ng/psidemount.jpg
Drivers side:
http://members.***.net/85cj7/ng/dsidemount.jpg
My haynes manual shows a similar set up to this, but it has an additional
bracket that the "hook" goes into between the frame mount and the rubber
pad.

Re: CJ six cylinder motor mounts
Well, that is really interesting.....
I could be way off base here, but are you 'sure' those aren't the
'frame' part of the mounts you have bolted to the engine?
If your mounts weren't backwards it would be right.
On all the ones I have seen and pulled, the square 'loop' part of the
mount is the part with the two bolts like yours and the pin side only
has one bolt, But, the one bolt side is on the frame mount, not the
engine mount.
If indeed your metal mounts are right for that setup, then the rubber
mounts need to be flipped upside down. You need the square hole loop to
grab the bar pin when the engine twists.
Naw, you have the same mounts as my 258 and that big curved piece is
supposed to be on the frame not the engine, I just went and looked.
Even the haynes shows the big clunker parts on the frame side and the
smaller ones on the engine.
