Is anyone else liquifying the poly motor mounts with truck manifolds?
Like the title reads, I am melting the poly motor mounts with in 100 miles of putting them on. I noticed that my first set was melting shortly after putting together the turbo kit with the stock block. At first I thought that it was either from the welding without having the block properly grounded during the initial fab. I got another set and switched them in and went to the track 2 times. The second time out with the new mounts, I blew up the stock block. When I took it apart I noticed that those were now melted so I bought another set thinking that it was from the small oil fire that I had under the hood. Now the 3rd set is melting after 100 break in miles and one trip to the track. It's running down the Kmember arm like wax from a candle. The manifolds are not coated or wrapped. They only have the shields on top. I did alot of reading about the truck manifold setups before I embarked on the project and I dont recall having ever heard mention of this problem.

That's good to know. I took a ride down the RPS today to pick up a few fittings as I am redoing all the vaccum lines in the stainless quick connect stuff and I mentioned this issue to them. They've been around turbo stuff longer than me. I guess one of them had a fox body with poly mounts and the DP was a good 3-4 inches away and it was getting blistered up. Perhaps the poly is less resistant to heat than the stock ****.
