2006-2008 Honda Ridgeline front engine mounts replacement

[@aharonkh]

Dude ”thanks", because of your bright suggestion to jack up the engine so much so the bolt will come out from the bracket so it snapped my other mounts... 11:22

[@MJflizzle]

thanks bro didnt know if i had to support engine or not for timing belt job🙏

[@BjornV]

No problem 👌

[@tcj226]

Did this actually fix the issue? I compared the movement after you changed the front engine mount with the old engine mount at the beginning of the video and it looked like it moved the same amount.

[@BjornV]

It did actually do fix it. No more 'clonking' noise, And I had like a metal scraping noise from the front right, that was gone as well.

@@BjornV when will you post a video showing the ATF/radiator bypass to prevent SMOD? Thx

[@BjornV]

@@axjohn It's on my to do list! I will do it pretty soon ;)

[@stevendiberardino6025]

Great video! What about the mount in the back of the engine?

[@BjornV]

I haven't had the courage to change that one yet. I think the exhaust had to come off, but those nuts are tight as ****... That's something to do when I get my car lift in my garage ;)

[@TheGreiner31]

@@BjornV I've replaced the rear mount, yes you drop the Y pipe to access 3 mount bolts from the bottom, a bunch of extensions to reach the cross bolt from the drivers side wheel area. Then laying on the top of the engine with a long arm to reach in from the top to pull it out. Not fun but doable.

[@BjornV]

@@TheGreiner31 thanks for the input!!!

[@jhughes7165]

Why not change the rear mount as well? How can you know the rear needs replacing?

[@BjornV]

I didn't replace that one because its a bigger job. Removing/loosening the subframe and exhaust manifold. My manifold bolts are really tight so I'm not tackling that job yet. Also, I have no noise coming from it so no need to replace yet.

[@peterrudy9207]

I periodically spray them and any and alll rubber components with 303 Protectant , to resist drying out and cracking .

[@BjornV]

That's smart! Might do that too!

[@ryanmenke9554]

I am doing it a bit diff4erent than everyone. Im only adding a bit at a time of the most flexible urethane I could find.

[@BjornV]

Thinking outside of the box, love it!

[@tsw808]

Hi does a bad passenger side motor mount affects the steering wheel and alignment? Thank

[@BjornV]

No it shouldn't, the engine is not connected to the suspension. It can however give a kind of shake, because the drive shafts are connected to the wheels and are not in line anymore.

[@tsw808]

@@BjornVI will get a wheel alignment. Thanks for the quick reply.

[@chillbro8811]

I did that transmission line bypass just in case

[@BjornV]

I still have to do mine ... :/

[@splice247]

Im sorry, did you say LPG system? As in propane or natural gas?!

[@BjornV]

Yes indeed, LPG liquefied petroleum gas. This is commonly used in Europe on big petrol engines, or cars where they want to pay less for petrol. In poland there are loads, loads of cars running on LPG. My civic coupé used to run on LPG as well before the engine swap.

[@ebutuoycensorship8012]

What's the lpg perform like ?

[@BjornV]

I like it, it's good, if I go full throttle or towing up hill, it switches to normal fuel. Other than that, it's cheap :p My coupé used to run on LPG before I swapped it, and it had 270000km on that engine, 200000 on LPG ✌️

[@kevinc9416]

How many miles on the truck when you did this?

[@BjornV]

Around 11000-115000. I'm at 128000 now. No issues.

@@BjornVI had to have my Honda pilot motor mounts replaced at 95k

[@ryanmenke9554]

I took a video last night of my engine moving both foward and reverse. Tonight Im going to jack up the back of the motor a bit, I have a battery powered gun and I bought some flexible urethane from home depot and a clear long hose so I can fill the rear mount up with flexible urethane and not have to take it off. The rear is a bitch.

[@BjornV]

So your making it a solid bushing, I used to have inserts form innovative mounts like that for my oem mounts on my coupe. If it works, why not 💪

[@vaneshlylopez1995]

I do that and now my transmisión don’t shift in D . Why?

[@BjornV]

You must of hit something on the gearbox then.

[@BjornV]

Graag gedaan! From Belgium 😁

[@tired_economist]

OMG! Why Nissan T-Shirt?))

[@BjornV]

Because I work there :') I came back from work when I did the repair :p

[@tired_economist]

@@BjornV Aha, I see. I got a Ridgeline and a Nissan Leaf. Thought you'd probably got some Nissan too) Cheers, I love your vids!

[@BjornV]

@@tired_economist ha, no nissan yet, appreciate it!😎

[@ryanmenke9554]

wtf, you did not even do the one that ninety five percent of the time is the culprit. The back mount. Come on dude. Those front two are easy.

[@BjornV]

The culprit was the passenger side one, And I think I said it in the video that I will do the rear later.
