do I need new bolts for the new motor mounts?

 

I'm glad JSC worked for you redevil, they have always been great, service and shipping, much better than Modern Performancein every way.
BTW, JSC also has an SRT forum, not as good as this but still good information.

 

first, motor mounts take out the wheel hop- if that was a problem for you-and turn it into wheel spin. that's a lot easier to control and less damaging on your car(breaking an axle from hopping)

second, the factory bolts are grade 10.9 which is more than enough toughness. check out the transmission bracket too since you'll already be under there, might as well do them all.

 

well if you say so york....I'll leave the tranny mount for later.

 

any tips on how to put on the motor mounts?

 

use locktite. other than that it's pretty straight forward.

 

thanks

 

Whats locktite?

 

Loctite is an anaerobic liquid thread locker. That is, it hardens in the abscence of air. You put it on your bolt threads and screw the item together. The "loctite" will start to harden immediately. This is what you do to bolts you do not want to vibrate loose. Loctite color codes their products by the intended useage. There are many colors and special uses but the onlyones you need to be concerned with are red and blue. Red is the more permanent. For things you dont ever want to take apart agian. Blue is just a we bit softer and not as permanent. Blue is the most often used and should suffice for you. Loctite also comes in gel form. Colors are the same and uses are the same, but it is easier to use.
Loctite can be found in any hardware or automotive store or even big dept. stores like K-mart.
