Engine mount

Was it an easy(ish) swap?
Do I need to support the motor?

Wasn't to bad, yeah you need to support the engine, i did it with a trolley jack and a lump of wood under the sump.

I managed to get it all apart and the new mount back in on my own, but when it came to refitting the top bracket it was harder to do on my own trying to move the engine back into position and get the bracket in place and get all the bolts in, so gave my neighbour a shout, so when i was moving the engine he got the bracket in place and the bolts in was much easier with 2 people and from start to finish took about an hour.

I have just replaced all 3 of the mounts on mine just to make sure, a powerflex lower one as the rubber had started to split and come away from the outer casing, and a new gearbox mount to.

It would be worth checking all the mounts really just to make sure. but with the top one gone in mine the engine moved around quite a bit, as you can see in the video, that was just me moving it using the plastic engine cover.
