Engine Mounts

I recently noticed excessive movement of the engine relative to the engine bay when lightly revved in neutral.
Forceful rocking of the egine resulted in even more movement and some worrying clunks, so the engine mounts were diagnosed as being split.
There was no fear of the actual engine dropping out of place as the mounts are held captive by some safety plates even when completely split.

I had previously used heavy duty aftermarket Japanese made Kazama engine mounts on my high powered JZZ30, so I set about and replicated the Kazama style mounts with some Nolathane bushes, some round tube, flat bar, angle bar, hight tensile bolts and Nyloc nuts.

After a bit of effort with access to the top bolts we removed the old mounts and fitted the new ones without too much fuss for a solidly mounted engine that should not have the same degradation as the silicon filled OEM mounts which are designed for NVH not for longevity.
