Engine mounts: The Complete Guide

An episode from the How a Car Works video course, teaching you everything you could ever need to know about engine mounts. Learn how these blocks of rubber work to reduce vibration from the engine into the car body, and reduce NVH - Noise, vibration and harshness.

I love how you go straight into it mate so many channels blabbering on for 5-10 minutes about complete garbage and often times the actual content you want to see is 30 seconds long. Thanks

[@WifeBTR123]

AvE comes to mind right away.. I can skip the first 2 minutes and not miss a thing.

[@markparee99]

I have watched 1,000's of hours of instructional videos on YT. In automotive space this is just about the best I've seen explaining things on a conceptual basis. Pair this with Eric the Car Guy and I believe you can get a really solid understanding of 'how a car works'. Very well done.

[@Hamchuck112]

Who would've thought I could watch a 12 minute video start to finish on engine mounts. Brilliant production.

[@afzalarif1124]

I got a bit carried away and made 5 pages of notes XD... i love you man

[@spykirbine1689]

Are you kidding I've been wanting to learn about all this for a while, and I've finally found the channel for it

[@raviagarwal321]

Wao Man, I am making Engine Mounts for last 10 years, this is best basis education of EM Presentation I have ever seen

[@johnvelazquez4626]

How the hell do you only have 48k subs? Your videos go onto such depth and detail

[@DirtySanch3z]

This channel is fucking gold...so glad I've found it.

[@chuytello83]

25 thumbs down? Who the hell would dislike free information presented in such a nice way? I'm loving this videos. Thanks.

[@janetteniles4396]

LOL... autoparts sales AND uncrupulous car repairmen lose ALOT when consumers are prepared to identify reality from bogus explanations.

[@augurelite]

I'm learning sooooooooooo much from these. The 3D graphics are great

[@1066gaz]

When your car is getting very old your engine mounts get hard/worn and end up vibrating more in the cabin. This is why you get new rattles start to appear inside your car and end up driving you nuts haha. Get new mounts, poly ones. Also when you take off your mounts when say your replacing your timing belt make sure you fit the mounts exactly back in the same position with the holes aligned up between the rubber mount and the metal bracket so you can see no rubber sticking out when looking down all through the hole. Otherwise you will get vibration due to the fact it has not gone back to its original position. You can get some wiggle room in the hole in the metal bracket itself and in the rubber mount,so don't go thinking it all aligns up automatically when you fit it all back.

i should've had a son like that!!! every family needs one of those guys... a smart mechanic.

this is by far the best automotive channel on youtube...you guys should start a patreon because you deserve to be paid for your great informative content.

[@jooky87]

The best and most in depth presentation on so many topics, great job! Love this channel so fun to keep learning more and more.

[@wonk1132]

these videos are very well produced and edited. The pace is just right. Thanks for doing them

[@deeptisharma5326]

Greetings, Mr. Alex Muir, I am Divyansh Sharma, and I love your video course. I’m a man who wants to learn about cars and spend my life with them, and this video course is really, for me at least, the bridge to a life of automotive excitement. I love how you go into extreme detail about everything, and explain it with all your heart. It’s really helpful for car enthusiasts like me, who want to go into cars, but know a fraction of what there is to know before you can pop the hood and get to work. I especially love those little bits of humour you include in the middle, they really brightens things up. I admire how you really know what you’re doing, which gives me, and I’m pretty sure everyone else, confidence, that we won’t screw things up when we try to do something as little as change the oil. Since I love your course so much, I ask (in the best way possible): When can I get to see the rest of it? You explaining gearboxes, differentials, and with your amazing 3d graphics, the braking system, the power steering, and suspension. I really admire what you’re doing, which is why I’m so excited to see the rest of your magic. Thank you so much for taking time to read this, and I hope you’ll get back to me soon. Regards, Divyansh Sharma

[@ahmedmoustafa6829]

I like that you explain the deep details and concept behind them.

[@howacarworks]

Thanks :) Sometimes I worry that I make these videos too long.

[@ahmedmoustafa6829]

[@rohmaxy9901]

@@howacarworks As an engineer, I must say you really explained the function and design of the mounts well. Now it makes sense why engine mount replacement can be costly. Some people argue that its "just a piece of rubber". Frankly there is more to it. Anyway keep up the good work buddy. You just earned a new subscriber. Regards from Singapore.

[@mitravindgarg5372]

Not excellent.. Rather super super excellent work.. It is so very comprehensive Amazing level of details you have provided which any tutorial should have Even beginners like me can understand! Great work..!

[@Akula114]

I am positively outraged. This video series is exactly to sort of thing that really gets my blood boiling. Thanks very bloody much. I mean, where in the hell were you when I was keeping my 1971 Series II 88" Land Rover on the road? Sure I had the little Haynes book and even the factory service manual, but where were you and this series? Nowhere to be found, I'm telling you. Honestly, I'd still be driving the old girl if your series of videos were around. Or if there was an internet, even. What a stupendously good job you've done! Really intelligent answers kept short enough to comprehend, good technique, and superb production values! I've been in the film and video production field for over 40 years, and your series is one of the best uses to which the gamut of filmmaking tools has been put. Well done, old son! I look forward to viewing more of your master classes for beginners. Thank you so very much for a job well done!

Really interesting explaination. I need to replace the mounts on my 1997 Renault Mégane Coupe which have perished. It is front wheel drive with top mounts and lower mounts joined to a subframe. Great for in the initial prisuction line where a pre assembled suspension and drivetrain can be mated to the body. Not so good for replacing later in the cars life.

[@poochieman789]

Very well made video.......

[@designwithgreg2924]

Another problem you may get with hard mounting is the thermal expansion of the engine as it warms up. Allowing some movement keeps the frame and engine from fatiguing each other very warm up and shut down cycle. In other industries, this drives a lot of the mounting design because the relative temperatures are higher and the thermal expansion is greater.

[@shwetaattarde4062]

Very informative,thnak you sir

[@sk8punk318]

3:20 I thought something looked weird then shit started floating and I had no idea wtf was going on

[@dickJohnsonpeter]

Especially when the car took the standarding up frontforth. Wherehow I wasn't expecting the color to do a 90 deg. bend either. Moreover it scared me because I thought the fire was going to get out of control but if you look close, it moved. And the process got 20 minutes and that's all I got. Wherehow did that happen and whenhowtofore?
