m20 engine mount cup cap function?

[markus_74]

Hello,

I need to know what function of this part?



Do this part important to isolate the engine vibration?

My engine mount without cup and now stretching or is this normal?


Thank you
Markus

Limts the engine movement under acceleration, braking and cornering.

They don't really make much difference at all, look how much of a gap is around the mount, lots of room for movement

As brian said, i've had these on my car for ages, and still running the mounts without any damage.
And Dan, pi55 off with any smart arss3 comments.

Pardon? I don't know what you mean!

Is this the garage queen/laid up turd that hasn't been driven for 8 years?

[Rav335uk]

4 years to be exact

Thank you for all advices.

I think I will make it with aluminum or metal locally.

Any info.how much the gap.between rubber and metal? And how much height?

[DanThe]

I make these if I want engine mounts to be stiffer

Thank you for the picture, is it no gap between rubber and aluminum? Or 1 mm?

Does the vibration to the body increase a lot or minor?
