DONT fill a bad mount. Get a new one. Polyfilling a old wont help the fact that all the rubber on the mount is torn. It wont be near as effective as it would be on a new one.

First I am gonna fill the bad one, for two reasons....First off, to have a practice shot at it...And secondly, I wanna see how it will feel once poly filled, since there will be a lot more vibrations. If I like it overall, I will get new mounts and do those, if not I will just get new mounts...
Is there a certain type of Polyurethane that I need? I picked up a gallon of oil based urethane for flooring from Home depot earlier today.
I will also be jumping in the group buy for the torque damper hopefully tomorrow afternoon.

advice needed
i have a question on how to reinstall the front motor mount if its poly filled. since that circler top cover plate that is attached by 4 little bolts, it will be "glued" onto the motor mount from the poly. how are you going to install the 3, 14mm bolts to the bracket/engine? i had to unbolt that top plate of the mount and hold it out of the way in order to back out the 2 lower bracket bolts, otherwise the bracket bolts would hit that piece of metal.
any suggestions?
also i had a tough time getting the bolt holes to line up on the bracket, is it better to unbolt the side mount and maybe the tranny mounts when installing the front?
thanks

i just ordered the Ingalls dampener today. My mounts are OK, not shot, but aren't like new. Don't all new OEM mounts come pre-filled with hydraulic fluid anyways? If so and you're mount (front) isn't shot wouldn't filling your old moujnt be the same as filling a new one?

I think the question is about the space for something to be inside the mount
can you can drain a `still good mount` and fill it solid

sbuswell-A poly filled mount is sort of in between a solid motor mount and a traditional rubber factory mount. The poly filled version should take much more abuse and essentially last longer (being that our factory mounts are crap). A lot of ppl are using this method in addition to those that did the 6mt swap. I plan on the same.
and as ANC said-poly and hydraulic are two completely different things..

I understand the methedology behind poly filling our mounts. My question was are the OEM mounts pre-filled with hydraulic fluid when you buy them? I replaced my front and side about 2 years ago and can't remember. I think it was filled as it was pretty heavy, but not positive. My concern is if you have an older mount that is not busted can you fill it with poly considering, if it's true, that new mounts are pre-filled with hydraulic fluid before you buy them? I would think the fluid would be easy to drain out of the mount, but it would be near impossible to get it all out (residual would remain).
