Question 1

How should engine mounts in the 2.0L and 2.4L four-cylinder engine be checked and replaced on Mitsubishi Montero?

Accepted Answer

Engine mounts are not often the focus of anyone's attention. If your car has a broken mount or it is well-worn, it should be replaced as soon as possible, so that other driveline components do not get damaged or suffer excess wear. To inspect the mounts, raise the engine a bit to relieve the weight off them. First, lift the vehicle and securely support it on jackstands. Then, place a jack under the engine oil pan using a large block of wood between the jack head and the oil pan. Raise the engine just enough to take the weight off of the mounts. Check the mounts for cracks, hard rubber or separation from the metal backing. The rubber could crack down the middle and check that the rod on the front mount isn't bent. Using a large screwdriver or pry bar, check for any relative movement between the mount plates and the engine or frame. If movement is detected, lower the engine and tighten the mount fasteners. It helps reduce the rate of deterioration. First, disconnect the negative battery cable. Then, raise the vehicle and support it on jackstands if you haven't already. To separate the mount from the frame and engine, uninstall fasteners. Do not disconnect more than one mount at a time except during engine removal. The installation is completed in reverse order to removal. Next, thread locking compound must be used on the mount bolts. Finally, the bolts must be tightened securely.

Question 2

How should engine mounts in the 2.6L four-cylinder engine be checked and replaced to prevent damage to drive line components on Mitsubishi Montero?

Accepted Answer

Replace a broken or faulty engine mount at once if you happen to experience damage or wear on the drive line components as that it seldom requires attention. To verify the mounts, slightly elevate the engine to relieve the weight off them. Firmly hold the auto on jack stands, then place a jack under the engine oil pan with a block of wood in between and carefully pick up the engine just enough to take weight off. Examine the mount insulators for cracks, rubber ruggedness, or separation from the metal plates, and keep in mind the rubber can split down the centre. Using a screwdriver or pry bar, check for relative movement between a mount plate and the engine or frame. If movement occurs, lower the engine and tighten the mount fasteners. Coatings of rubber preservative on insulators helps slow down deterioration For replacement disconnect the negative battery cable, raise the vehicle and support it securely on jack stands if not already done. To detach the insulator, take out the insulator-to-engine bolts after raising the engine slightly, and remove the fasteners to detach the mount from the frame bracket. The installation is done in the reverse order of removal.Use thread locking compound on the mount bolts and tighten. When installing the roll restrictor to the front insulator, do not tighten the engine mounts but adjust the clearance between the restrictor and side of insulator until correctly set. Set the roll restrictor and leave the nut loose until the clearances are within the specified range, after which, tighten all the engine mounts.
