Can you fix an Engine Mount with Window Sealant?

[@josephquijano9206]

It's been almost 3yrs. How is the sealant now?

[@OllarisGarage]

It’s doing well! Quite a surprise! Just looked under the truck a couple days ago!

[@josephquijano9206]

@@OllarisGarage thanks mate. I'm using it now and it's not 100% perfect but it is much better now compared to vibrating side mirrors before

[@pfoxhound]

I think couple days to cure will be better as the thickness is huge. Nice job!

[@blackrifle6736]

*Sebastian: Thank you for your clear, concise, single-objective presentation. If you're curious, as was I about specified cured hardness, Henkel Teroson PU 8597 Scheibenkleber: Per DIN 53505 method, hardness is Shore 70A after curing for 7 days at 22C, 50%RH. Cure time curve is temperature and humidity. Hot and humid is the process accelerant, cold and dry cures slower. Assuming Hungarian is your native language, kudos to you also for your superb command of English. Egészségére!*

[@OllarisGarage]

What a great addition to the video! I appreciate your comment! Yes, Hungarian is my native language. Köszönöm!

[@hardboiledfrog]

Man, I really appreciate the view of the mount while putting the vehicle into gear and out. Great shot.

[@OllarisGarage]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it

[@km-gi4lw]

Great demo. Have used 'roof and gutter' on the rear trailing blades on the Aussie Ford falcon sedan like many others have done. Longer the better on curing time. Made me smile when you showed the smoothing job, exactly like mine. Many thanks for this demo video.

[@Dreamweaver94]

This was a very well made video and you seem like a sharp guy. I always appreciate clear instructions, explanations for things, and examples, which you all touched on.

[@zubeystinzen540]

I've been doing this for years & it truly works & I haven't replaced a mount in ages. Rubber isn't like it used to be & it's expensive,this is why manufacturers design them with spacings & they're failure point is inevitable so you have to buy replacements. Great job to keep your wheels rolling 👍

[@Ben-bg2eg]

Actually they’re designed with spacing to isolate vibrations and allow some flex. Solid rubber transmits more NVH. Priority is to reduce NVH over mount longevity.

Have you ever tried with flex seal?

[@lisnettelee2219]

I done this 20 years ago and have also machine urethane in a late to make my own. Only thing to be careful of is going too much on daily driven cars. I fine starting by taping off one side and fill 50% is a good start

[@dukiduki899]

If anyone still thinking about this, it works perfectly well in terms of durability and holding your engine im place. There is one disadvantage to it, it will increase vibrstions and noise in your cabin/seering wheel etc. If that doesnt comcern you, go for it.

[@igotstoknow2]

I forgot about this fix and ordered a new mount today. I'll try the fix on the other 3 mounts. Thanks!

[@Permacamper]

The toughest and most durable type of caulking rubber I've ever used is 3M 5200. It's rated to use under the waterline in marine applications. You can get it at marine stores or sometimes home depot, etc. It would probably be close to the original rubber used in the mount.

[@ihyanurfahlevi8498]

Is it possible to patch a crack in the engine mount??? Because mine only had a crack at the top, so I only applied it to the cracked part. Sorry if my language is bad, because I use Google Translator.

[@mibars]

Nice! I'm considering to try this out, at least as a temporary solution, before ordering an engine mount from overseas.

[@leobrent7926]

I've done this on 3 different cars in the course of the last 20 years and proper engine RTV, out of a spray can hardens faster and better than window silicone which you need to leave for a week or longer to harden, especially if you used a giant glob of it. The repair is permanent and firmer than standard mounts, so sport mounts for a pocket change worth of silicone.

Nice! You may have just saved the life of my outboard boat motor.

[@OllarisGarage]

Great! Report back how it worked!

[@OldMysticFantasist]

@@OllarisGarage So far it looks like it's gonna be golden! My outboard motor has 2 mounts that are a typical sleve within a sleve held together by rubber design, the rubber completely broke through in the middle letting the inner sleves pull out, & that replacement part for this motor is unavailable anywhere. So I cut out most of the old rubber & repacked them with the 3M Windo-weld. They look better than new & appear to be holding perfectly. Froze over here so I haven't given a test run yet, but they should be perfect. Thanks again for sharing this! Cheers!

[@Ollaris]

@@OldMysticFantasistGlad to hear. ha! I forgot that it isn’t the season for boating!

[@abulqasimimbaya8342]

Hey mate- that’s absolutely creative! BUT, I believe that the manufacture made it in a certain way where it moves and has some flexibility. Just imagine when filling it all with that thing, it will barely move and the vibration will move to other components of the vehicle which on the other side will cause a metal to metal tough contact such as the interior axles which then will shorten the life span of them! I believe that we need that flexibility which transfers vibrations gradually! That’s my point of view sir Good luck!

[@charging7]

Incredible solution. It will be interesting to see if it holds up to the constant vibration and torque

[@OllarisGarage]

Thanks! Looking good so far. Using it like this for the past 3 months.

Few years ago a friend used a few thick beads of clear silicone sealant as an anti-vibration damper for the fuel pump of his rally car. Previously the pump had come loose and became unplugged during a stage. The bead was straight out the tube without the long nozzle.

[@atnamesarelame]

Was it a good long term fix for him?

[@robertwillis4061]

@@atnamesarelame Yes, it lasted for about a year. He then sold the car as it was getting old. ( MK2 Escort ). Initially the pump sat on an aluminium plate that had 4 small exhaust bobbins as vibration dampers. But they were too hard and transmitted too much vibration. The silicone was laid as 2 strips about 5mm apart. Once dry, we added a third to form a pyramid. We drilled through the pyramid and attached the plate with the pump attached with some long thin bolts just tight enough so they didn't move.

[@atnamesarelame]

@@robertwillis4061 ok that's good to hear. I'm considering using rtv silicone on my motor mounts. Hopefully they last many years and limit vibration if I decide to go that route.

Good morning. I have a 2006 Honda Pilot and I have a strange vibration setting in at higher highway speeds. Around 75-80 mph (120-130 kph) and settling out higher. It is intermittent. Someone told me to try new motor mounts. Since the problem is intermittent and seems to be related to load on acceleration as well as at constant speed. Problem is, I think that spending upwards of $500 plus on motor and transmission mounts is a waste. I have heard that aftermarket mounts aren't very good, so I am going to try this. Thank you in advance for the video. Will this restore teh movement to original or make it stiffer. This looks like the 3M poly sealant avilable int he US, but I don't know. There seems to be some give in the mount. Is that true? if so, that might be the thing to do. Thanks again.

[@blackrifle6736]

*Stiffer. Not a 3M product. Henkel's TDS for Teroson PU 8597 (AKA Teroson Bond 60). Hardness is Shore 70A per DIN 53505 after 7 days at 22C, 50%RH. Warm and wet (Florida in summer) cures faster, cold and dry (desert in winter) cures slower. This might be marketed in NA as a Henkel-Loctite product. On Hondas, the mount that limits fore-aft movement (the dog bone) is always first to die. Cheers!*

Foolish people do foolish things. This is definitely a fool's errand. Durometer is the hardness of rubber. Dampening brackets are engineered with a specific durometer for a specific load. A homemade dampening bracket may work in the short-term. But depending on the location, they failed bracket will cost you more then if you would just purchased a replacement parts.
