wasgood fellas.. had a question about my poly motor mount, i bought the Intense Racing polyurethane motor mount for my impy, and today while i was messing with the headlights i noticed the poly mount was like torn, looked like the engine rocked so much that it ripped the sides a bit, its still a whole solid piece but the sides are like torn, ill post pics tomorow, but has anyone else had this problem?
im also getting weird hesitation when i push the gas at any speed, regular or fast.. no idea if its just my transmission slowly saying goodbye cause i know for sure that is doing some of the hesitation, or if its the motor mount..

thanks..

 

Mine did that too...

 

 

semi-solid mount under near continuous acceleration. Consider it a wear item.

 

bad mold...probably a poly/silicone mix....IMO

 

That thing was a bitch to put in too....looks like I may need a new one soon.

 

+1

Much cursing went into the install. Especially the shorter dogbone.

 

Hahahaha too many "fuckshitpiss" moments went into that install. And some bruised knuckles.

 

Doing it the dark, wet, freezing cold didn't help. lmao

 

damn, this discourages me from doing this! does everybody's wear?? Cause I know that it was a bi-otch to put in!

 

aww thats boo boo! ima just put a damn piece of metal in then **** it lol

foreal though? 2 months and this happens?? what a waste.. shuda kept the stock flipped mount.. that thing didnt seem as fragile..

 

ill check out mine tomorrow since mine is from Intense also

 

I treat my car like ****, driving wise. I'll give y'all an update in a few weeks.

 

lol x2, i treat my car like a **** for gas! 200 miles (tops) to a full tank..
gun it like every change i get.. maybe that has sumthin to do with the mount being like that? hmmmm

my transmission has been holding up like a champ though, im truly impressed...

 

Mine's a little clunky. All those runs at the track and on the street probably have a little to do with it though.

 

Mine is about to say boom, nice to meet you on me sometime soon.

 

What?

 

lol, yeaa.. X2.

 

lol u guys didnt read it the way i did?





well here are some new pics, i was about to wash the car wen the "engine oil low, add oil" message came on (what a surprise, NOT..)
and i noticed it was ripped more!
so i said **** it ima mess with it and try to at least fix it for a few days till i buy a new one...

before:




fully torn as you can see


and how i temporarily "FIXED" it.. i did the "Motor mount flip" AGAIN




wat do u guys think? should i contact intense and see what they can do? or u think theyll just give me the "well it wasnt designed for your engine yaddi yaddi yaddi" i mean i know guys puttin down more power than me with 3800s that have had no problems..

 

From memory, as I know nothing about the 3800's, don't they use two of the poly mounts to locate the block? Also, I would be pretty surprised if many of the blown 6's make as much torque as the LS4, that is what puts the stress on the mounts.
