250 Motor Mounts

Post by enio45 »

Any thoughts about changing the motor mounts on my 250 Ellena Motor.

Hard to tell if they need replaced to not.....any advise on this?

They look like they are pressed in?

Ed, the enemy of motor mounts is torquing and exposure to oil. The short stroke V12 puts nearly zero torque on these. So, if they weren't sopped in oil for a long period there is no reason for them to deteriorate. I would take a close look at each one and see if the steel and rubber bonding is still strong and if so just leaver them be.
