Thread: HOW TO: Solid Mounts

Put some crap in there.

Just a note: I have the DEA solid mounts, the engine mount seems VERY solid yet there still is a cavity beneath the main section of rubber and the bottom metal "cap".

Its all filled now, going to wait a week or two. Most of these products claim a one week to fully cure.

I'm sure they dont count on their product being crammed into a 2x3x1" thick block though.

I forgot to revise this to the fact that I wouldn't use RTV. Some people may be able to get enough in there to make it solid enough but mine depressed.

EDIT- Fixed.

I'm really liking how this Lepage PL Premium is hardening.

Cheap too.

Any updates on people who did this how are they holding up

Did my post confuse you? BLAME AUTOCORRECT!

Is it alot more vibes at cruise or only at idle

Did my post confuse you? BLAME AUTOCORRECT!

Oh and one last question what size holes are you guys drilling thanks

Did my post confuse you? BLAME AUTOCORRECT!

I lied I have another question received my mounts today and went to look at pics on where drill again.
And noticed none for the trans mount should drill up top by the bolts? On the side or bottom? I just didn't want to drill the wrong spot

Also I'm glad my engine mount was a solid one lol

Did my post confuse you? BLAME AUTOCORRECT!

I used this stuff and ran out, don't have anymore, and no one sells it local. should I worry about not filling it to the top? it was coming out the bottom, and wouldn't fill up to the top.

and for people who use this stuff to, wear gloves, it will make a big mess and won't wash off your hands.

my my thought was always whether to fill all at once, or do it in stages, so to allow the sealant to set, then add another layer, until filled. That would make it nice and solid for sure.

this 3M stuff set's up reasonably fast, I had some push out all the holes in the bottom half of the mount, I just couldn't get any to push out the top holes that I drilled. the cure time is advertised as 24 hours, I'll probably let it set up for a week and then install. I will check around for some loctite poly sealant, I'm sure the local parts store will have something like that, I'm just going to put a good coating on the outside and in the middle between the two studs on top and call it good. hopefully the extra vibration doesn't jar any of my wife's teeth fillings out.

Remember letting the 3m tubes sit in a bucket of really hot water will make it easier to pump through the caulk gun

that hot water tip would have been useful knowledge yesterday, probably would not have made such a mess if it had come out of the tube easier.

I found this stuff at a store called Bomgaars.

Does anyone happen to have the picture associated with this step :

"You also need to fill the bottom of the mount. This can be done by taping or plugging the hole shown in the picture and filling it up (from the middle) untill you seem in coming out of the other holes (on the sides) like this:"

I have a new "solid" mount I'll drill and check and if I need ti fill it I'd like to know more about what I need to do and make sure I get it right.
