So I took the challenge of installing my BMR k-member today... I also did energy suspension motor mounts and my oil pan gasket with oil pump pick up tube seal... All I can say is take your time and have all the right tools. I started about 10am and finished around 6:45pm. And man am I tired. Oh and people having doubts about doing poly motor mount, JUST DO IT... My car is so much smoother with NO vides at all. Didn't take pics as I was doing the work but I did take a few of them... Now I just need a MAJOR alignment...

How is the engine floating in place?

Magic..... Lol. Just kidding I have an engine brace holding it in place bolted to the side of the heads. This is what I used. It's $60 at harbor freight and its really sturdy..

I wouod also like to know as im installing them on my k member and im having issues
but think it might be the new bushings

No problems installing the stock a-arms, but I do need new bushings. I'm going with global west bushings later. Here's what I'll be getting. Part# SP-7

How "confident" were you in that Engine Brace, the first time you used it, knowing it was the ONLY thing supporting the motor, especially while you were UNDER it ?

Just asking . . .

Pretty confident under it since I use it a lot at work. I threw out the regular bolts that came with the kit and got some good grade 8 bolts.

VERY wise precaution . . .

Thanks !
