Hey guys... who knows the deal with the commodore engine mounts .do u use both ..for a g13b in a serra ?

[neofitou]

Yep A1423 I think you have to trim them.

[KEENSY85]

Yer I read cut the pin off .. do they mess with the alignment of the engine and gear box ...it doesn't push the gear box across or anything weird ?

I've seen a few Sierras fitted with VL mounts. All had G16B's in them and all had issues caused by the mounts. Stekkys was the worst.
I would fit standard Sierra or a burstproof setup like Petroworks.

I ran them with both a 1.3 and G16a. They did make the 1.6 conversion kit a bitch to line up, even the 1.3 has to be played with a bit to get them both on right. It will lift the engine in the bay so take that into consideration if bonnet room is a problem. It slightly rotated my rear gearbox mount which just made it a slightly more annoying fit but it still worked and I never busted either engine mount or gearbox mount.

I used hilux ones

I got some D21 mounts and me and Kyzer modified to fit them. A bit too much vibration through them for my liking so I am looking for another solution. Need some donor mounts though - m series.

Got any pics ,
I know u can get a heavy duty cortina engine mount rubber and they are 30 somthing mm thick , a mate of mine has them under a 302 Windsor making some high hp so they seem like an option for strength maybe. ..iv ordered standard 1.3 mounts for know $33 to the door

[tanshi]

i seem to remember is involved some modding to make them fit, but they were heaps strong.

i have a vl turbo mount on the passenger side of the motor and stock on the drivers side. cut off the pin and bolted straight in no problems been in there for a year no probs. before that i broke 3 stock ones in a few months.

Is engine on slant?

[Joshyboy26]

i have never noticed it being any different. ie if someone was to look you would never notice it even if you tried.

[hooki]

I've got VL mounts on my g16b and the engine fit's in perfectly.

[KEENSY85]

Mine g16b is sitting on vl mounts but the gear box mount is over to the drivers side by about 5/10 mm, in going to have a play tomorrow morning and iv also know got a new gearbox mount, wich may be part of the problem ....I hope.
Thanks for all ur replys
