300tdi in a 90 - Engine Mounts?

Karls · Apr 13, 2015

Can anyone offer me some pics and advice about where and how many engine mounts there should be for this conversion? The 90 I've bought already had the conversion but since I've removed the gear & transfer boxes, the engine has tipped noticably forward and is only supported by two mounts which are set towards the back half of the engine. Is this right?

There is only two mounts on the engine which is counter balanced by the gearbox when fitted, if you've removed the tranny then the engine will hang forwards, much the same as if you were to remove the engine the gearbox would lean back

Yes. The engine is also supported by the gear and transfer boxes (as you've discovered). You should be supporting it whilst they are removed.
