Any body have the rk sport dog bone in poly instaled with pics. I am going to order mine soon and just want to know what you thought about it. Also what are the torque specs on those bolts. this is for a 97 sunfire gt

yeah its easy. support engine with a jack. remove bolts that hold mount in. replace with dog bone, torque down as tight as you can. done.
put a piece of wood between the jack and engine. And yes, it is just that easy

Get them from Karo at CarCustoms....free shipping and I've always had good experiences with him.
I need a sig...I need new doors first.
Ok the bolt on the right is what? I am kind of confused by your post. The nuts are welded so they cant be torqued. Also there is a bolt that attaches to the engine and a bolt that attach to the sub frame.

That's straight from the GM manual.
I accidentally copied one too many things and left out a hyphen
Should just be: Engine Mount (right hand side) to the Body Support - Bolt
Right hand side is referring to the passenger side. Same torque specs for both bolts.
You're normal tight is about right. 32 ft-lbs isn't that much, but it isn't loose. No jack necessary, I've never used one.
you dont have to use a jack but its still not a bad idea.

Also where is the upper mount pass or driver side?
Its on the passenger side
Lower mount:
Upper Mount Insert:
this might help as well. Its the actual RK Mount

Wow that looks like it does alot. Whats the procedure for the upper mount. If I take it of with out a jack underneath the car do I risk the engine mis aligning. I am definitly going to order those two parts right now.

i used a jack just to insure the motor wouldn't move. its just that one extra step to be safe on.
As far as the upper mount goes...
you just remove the 3 bolt plate around the mount. (2 on top, on under coolant tank) Then slide in the insert. But you have to a good stock mount in. It can't be busted.
TurboTechRacing has just released a new mount for the 2.4's! It looks to be much better, and a little more eye candy under the hood. Check it out. Its a full replacement instead of just a insert.

Yes and the "insert" still has A LOT of play compared to our Turbo Tech Racing solid engine mount, which is a 100% complete replacement mount. The Turbo Tech Racing Mount has alomst zero movement, yet has very little vibs within the car.
